具體描述
An extraordinary memoir--told entirely in near-death experiences--from one of Britain's best-selling novelists, for fans of Wild, When Breath Becomes Air, and The Year of Magical Thinking.
We are never closer to life than when we brush up against the possibility of death.
I Am, I Am, I Am is Maggie O'Farrell's astonishing memoir of the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life. The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter--for whom this book was written--from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers.
Seventeen discrete encounters with Maggie at different ages, in different locations, reveal a whole life in a series of tense, visceral snapshots. In taut prose that vibrates with electricity and restrained emotion, O'Farrell captures the perils running just beneath the surface, and illuminates the preciousness, beauty, and mysteries of life itself.

讀後感
早就想读Maggie O'Farrell的书。让我捧回家的第一本是她的小说：This Must Be the Place, 可先结缘的还是她的这一本自传/回忆录。 17次，死神的手曾轻拂过她的肩膀。 也许是出于一种偷窥式的好奇心理，看到书名的时候我不自觉从商店的书架上取下它，翻开第一页，只读了一两段...

用戶評價
I totally enjoyed reading the first several chapters but later on I felt the author complaining after another with literally NO wisdom gleaned from each event.A good memoir is one where you know the author is making stuff up or stretching the truth a bit, but you don't care. This one, I thought she was exaggerating a bit too much.
评分這本書去年翻譯瞭五韆餘字，因故夭摺。如果有編輯日後引進此書，希望能與我聯係，謝謝。

评分對話很少，都是作者身處一個個危險時，腦內的小劇場。如果是我就會想“我要死瞭，我要死瞭”無限重復吧，還有空想這麼多。作者寫的讓人心也揪一下，很好讀。(在中國一所人多到撲齣來的醫院，被醫生開瞭給馬吃的藥？活下來瞭～）
评分感受生命的頑強。
