#1 Sunday Times bestseller "I Am I Am I Am is a gripping and glorious investigation of death that leaves the reader feeling breathless, grateful, and fully alive. Maggie O'Farrell is a miracle in every sense. I will never forget this book." --Ann Patchett "It takes a deft storyteller to alternate between charming and terrifying on the page but here it is, a set of linked stories that play with that most curious fact: that we experience life's joys and losses in the context of a mortal vessel. I would follow Maggie Farrell anywhere, even to the edge of death seventeen times." --Kelly Corrigan, New York Times bestselling author of The Middle Place, Glitter and Glue and Tell Me More "Astounding...awe-inspiring...a tour de force" --Booklist, starred review Praise from the UK: "A rich celebration of every breath O'Farrell has taken." -- The Independent "Where other writers may be playing with paper, O'Farrell takes up a bow and arrow and aims at the human heart." -- The Times "Extraordinary... uncomfortable and compelling - a page turner... Fluent, poised, packed with colourful details. Her prose seems invulnerable. It has the sheen of fiction." --Guardian , Book of the Month, August 2017 "O'Farrell emerges as determined, loyal, fierce and stoic; not to be messed with... The message is that we must live in the moment, finding joy and freedom where we can, but O'Farrell writes so convincingly about the peril that each episode just serves as another detailed, technicolour reminder that we, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones, are only ever one bad decision, faulty choice or sliver of ill-fortune away from catastrophe. This is a mesmerising read." --Sunday Times "O'Farrell has a compelling and arresting writing style that fills in a scene quickly and engagingly, to great dramatic and narrative effect... It is heady, engaging stuff - a bristling, rollercoaster of a read." --New Statesman "Electric... Astonishing... Should be read by everyone... Affecting: wise, terrifying, vital and important... I can count on one hand the books that made me cry and still have two fingers spare. I Am, I Am, I Am is one of them." --Irish Times, #1 Sunday Times bestseller "I Am I Am I Am is a gripping and glorious investigation of death that leaves the reader feeling breathless, grateful, and fully alive.

Synopsis
"I Am I Am I Am is a gripping and glorious investigation of death that leaves the reader feeling breathless, grateful, and fully alive. Maggie O'Farrell is a miracle in every sense. I will never forget this book." --Ann Patchett An extraordinary memoir--told entirely in near-death experiences--from one of Britain's best-selling novelists, for fans of Wild , When Breath Becomes Air , and The Year of Magical Thinking . We are never closer to life than when we brush up against the possibility of death. I Am, I Am, I Am is Maggie O'Farrell's astonishing memoir of the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life. The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter--for whom this book was written--from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers. Seventeen discrete encounters with Maggie at different ages, in different locations, reveal a whole life in a series of tense, visceral snapshots. In taut prose that vibrates with electricity and restrained emotion, O'Farrell captures the perils running just beneath the surface, and illuminates the preciousness, beauty, and mysteries of life itself., I Am I Am I Am is a gripping and glorious investigation of death that leaves the reader feeling breathless, grateful, and fully alive.
