I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O'Farrell
5.0
oh my god
heartbreaking, poignant, smart.
maggie o'farrell tells her life through near death experiences that end up touching on very personal and yet relatable issues, some even more if you're a woman.
the fear of dying, the fear of losing a loved one, losing a baby, the inherent fear you feel of being kidnapped or abused as a woman. the fear of the unknown, of the vastness of the sea, of things you can't control.
it is also a story of perseverance and coming back to life, fighting for more.
the world is bad but it does give us moments worth fighting for.
