______

I Am, I Am, I Am is novelist Maggie O'Farrell's unputdownable story of a life told in near-death experiences. A childhood illness she was not expected to survive. A terrifying encounter on a remote path. A mismanaged labour in an understaffed hospital. An ongoing struggle to protect a child from a condition that leaves her daily vulnerable.

Insightful, inspirational, gorgeously written, it is a book to devour at a sitting - a story you finish newly conscious of life's fragility, determined to make every heartbeat count.
