My Year Off

'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 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' .
