<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An ... intimate memoir of the near death experiences that have made Maggie O'Farrell the woman and the writer she is today. A childhood illness she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. A terrifying encounter on a remote path. A mismanaged labour in an understaffed hospital. This is a memoir with a difference: seventeen encounters with Maggie at different ages, in different locations, reveal to us a whole life in a series of tense, visceral snapshots. It is a book to make you question yourself: What would you do if your life was in danger? How would you react?"--Translation of publisher description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A birth that doesn't go as expected; a kid diagnosed with an incurable disease that keeps her in bed for more than a year; a teenage girl attacked by a stranger while strolling around the countryside; a woman that escapes a fatal accident by a hair's breadth.
