Her ability to write about the way Illness, pain, fear, and grief manifest in a person has dazzled me since Hamnet, and this book did not disappoint.

It’s about a woman’s near death experiences, which include instances of illness in her childhood, threats by men, drowning, pregnancy and childbirth complications, and her child daughter’s own near death experience

This was so bad on my anxiety. Descriptions were so powerful it was scary. And honestly too much talk about childbirth/miscarriages/etc had me terrified to ever get pregnant

challenging dark reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

A premise so morbidly enticing I couldn’t help but pick it up! Admittedly, I expected this book to be over-the-top, dramatic, an exaggerated retelling of extraordinary circumstances. But it’s not that at all.
This book is both down to earth and contemplative, with a tone that O’Farrell crafts beautifully. Everyone can relate to this book, but especially women as it details the circumstances so familiar to so many, and yet rarely talked about.
This is a heart-wrenching book, but O’Farrell does it in such a way that makes the topic of ever-present death not only tolerable, but enjoyable.
