The Sunday Times Bestseller From the award-winning writer of The
Times Magazine's 'Spinal Column': a deeply moving, darkly funny,
inspirational memoir 'It's beautiful - full of love and light - and
an exploration into not only how, but why we survive, despite
everything' Christie Watson, author of The Language of Kindness On
Good Friday, 2010 Melanie Reid fell from her horse, breaking her
neck and fracturing her lower back. She was 52. Paralysed from the
top of her chest down, she was to spend almost a full year in
hospital, determinedly working towards gaining as much movement in
her limbs as possible, and learning to navigate her way through a
world that had previously been invisible to her. As a journalist
Melanie had always turned to words and now, on a spinal ward
peopled by an extraordinary array of individuals who were similarly
at sea, she decided that writing would be her life-line. The World
I Fell Out Of is an account of that year, and of those that
followed. It is the untold 'back story' behind Melanie's
award-winning 'Spinal Column' in The Times Magazine and a testament
to 'the art of getting on with it'. Unflinchingly honest and
beautifully observed, this is a wise and inspiring memoir about
risk and dilemma, heroism and love . Above all, The World I Fell
Out Of is a reminder that at any moment the life we know can be
turned upside down - and a plea to start appreciating what we have
while we have it.
