Review: I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death

I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O'Farrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whew. These seventeen essays (out of chronological order so a few bits are repeated) will grip you and give you the feels. Heartbreaking section about miscarriage, and the many times she addresses how she is trying to protect her daughter will hit hard with all mothers. It ends with "She is" and, yes, those daughters are worth everything.

As for the audio version, the Middle English (just a few lines) was fantastic and I didn't hear any mistakes. So much emotion--it made me choke up while listening to it in the car.
