Alternate title:  Seventeen brushes with death : a memoir Description:  292 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Summary:  "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. 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. Born in Northern Ireland in 1972, Maggie O'Farrell grew up in Wales and Scotland and now lives in London. She worked as a waitress, chambermaid, bike messenger, teacher, arts administrator, and journalist in Hong Kong and London, and as the deputy literary editor of The Independent on Sunday. Her novels include After You'd Gone (2000), My Lover's Lover (2002), The Distance Between Us (2004), The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (2006), The Hand That First Held Mine (2010), Instructions for a Heatwave (2013) and This Must Be the Place (2016).
