Omschrijving

An amazing and wonderful piece of writing. I could not put it down

An amazing and wonderful piece of writing. I could not put it down

A wonderful, moving, powerful and immersive book which will help anyone who has or knows someone with MS. Christian Donlan's takes us inside his mind and his beautiful relationship with his daughter, helping us to look at our own relationships from a fresh perspective.

An unprecedented first-hand account of the effects of brain disease, and what it is like to have your thoughts shift from under you. Donlan brings us a poetic, compelling and wonderful book. Simply enchanting.

Christian Donlan tells a riveting adventure story as he explores the mysterious paths that connect the body and the brain-and the scary and joyous land of fatherhood. He writes with vivid candour and startling humour about topics that range from the history of neurology to the maddening grey zone between illness and diagnosis. At its heart, this is a book of awe - at how the body works and doesn't, how it grows and fails, and how even the most unwelcome events can sometimes help us break free from old ways of thinking to powerful new ones.

Thoughtful and quietly moving

This is not a tale of tragedy but one of re-engaging with the world - or realising what's truly important

Beautiful and delicately written with the power to shift your world view

Remarkable and revelatory, this is a dazzling achievement

This is an inspiring tale of a man trying to wrestle an incurable disease into a kind of submission, using intellect and love and logic... [A] marvellous book

A poignant account of living with MS... with a total lack of self pity and much gentle humour, Donlan explores the nooks and crannies of his behaviour.

[An] excellent memoir... he describes the brain in vivid, poetic detail

A moving, gracefully written story

In this poignant book, Donlan finds in curiosity, writing, and family the surest salves for the terror of chronic illness and mortality

Really beautifully done; reminds me of When Breath Becomes Air. I love it

Perhaps never before has the full palette of the inner ebb and flow of MS been so frankly exposed... Will resonate with other people with MS, and also, so importantly, with their family and friends... an invaluable resource

Christian Donlan is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in the New Statesman, Edge magazine and Vice, amongst other places. He is a features editor at Eurogamer.net. He lives in Brighton with his family.
