shimmery's review against another edition
3.0
In this book, Maggie O’Farrell pinpoints the times she has come close to death and arranges these points to mark out the shape of her life. It’s a short, intense read with a lot more drama than the average life, brimming with reckless abandon and taking in the wideness of the world the author has travelled. It highlights how much of our lives are down to luck and celebrates life in all its fragility. For me it was just a bit too much and I would have liked some calmer moments interspersed with the more dramatic memories, but I am an extremely cautious wimp.
