About this listen

As selected for the Zoe Ball Bookclub, a Book of the Year in The Sunday Times, The Times, Guardian, Irish Times, Observer, Red and The Telegraph.

I Am, I Am, I Am is a memoir with a difference - the enthralling story of an extraordinary woman's life in near-death experiences. Insightful, inspirational, a story you finish newly conscious of life's fragility, determined to make every heartbeat count.

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. Shocking, electric, unforgettable, this is the extraordinary memoir from Costa Novel-Award winner and Sunday Times best-selling author Maggie O'Farrell. It is a book to make you question yourself. What would you do if your life was in danger, and what would you stand to lose?

I Am, I Am, I Am will speak to readers who loved Cheryl Strayed's Wild or Max Porter's Grief is the Thing with Feathers.

a bit like the friend who tells you stories all evening. at first it's really good and you are drawn in but towards the end I was thinking 'are we nearly there yet?'. It's got interesting sections but sorry, I won't be rushing to buy another from the same author.

Good but needs concentration

A whirl wind of life events, that would seem surreal if not true. Loved the mixture of stories and life-full-ness. O'Farrell's style is wonderful. So precise and deeply human.
