Description
Una memoria extraordinariamente íntima de las experiencias cercanas a la muerte que han convertido a Maggie O'Farrell en la mujer y la escritora que es hoy. Una enfermedad infantil que no se esperaba que sobreviviera. Un anhelo adolescente de escapar que casi termina en desastre. Un encuentro aterrador en un camino remoto. Un trabajo de parto mal administrado en un hospital con poco personal. Esta es una memoria con una diferencia: diecisiete encuentros con Maggie a diferentes edades, en diferentes lugares, nos revelan toda una vida en una serie de instantáneas tensas y viscerales. Es un libro para hacerte cuestionarte: ¿qué harías si tu vida estuviera en peligro? ¿Cómo reaccionarías? ¿Y qué estarías dispuesto a perder? "YO SOY, YO SOY, YO SOY" es un libro que terminarás siendo consciente de tu propia vulnerabilidad y decidido a hacer que cada latido cuente.
Description
An extraordinarily 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? And what would you stand to lose? "I AM, I AM, I AM" is a book you will finish newly conscious of your own vulnerability, and determined to make every heartbeat count.
