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

sglance9's review against another edition

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

I promised myself that I would read more of Maggie O’Farrell after reading Hamnet and falling in love with her writing style. Unsurprisingly, I loved this and was so sad when it came to an end. The audiobook performance was phenomenal and I am baffled by the life this woman has lived. So many of the passages have been floating around in my mind since reading them. This might be the first book I buy a physical copy of for the purpose of highlighting and annotating.
