My Year Off: Rediscovering Life After A Stroke By: Robert McCrum

Author: Robert McCrum

‘When I was just forty-two I suffered a severe stroke. Paralysed on my left side and unable to walk, I was confined to hospital for three months, then spent about a year recovering, slowly getting myself back into the world.

When I was seriously ill in hospital, I longed to read a book that would tell me that I might expect in convalescence and also give me something to think about. . .’

‘Not only a riveting account of his sudden illness, but of love being put under a real test: a heart-warming triumph’ Kazuo Ishiguro, ” Sunday Times Books of the Year “

‘With its lucid heartfelt prose, “My Year Off “gives voice to the millions of people who suffer strokes . . . More importantly, this book is a testament to the parallel trials and courage of the family members of stroke victims’ “New York Times Book Review “

‘Few of us can write in perfect health with the wit, skill, honesty and compassion that McCrum manages following a stroke’ Professor Anthony Clare
