By the bestselling author of WHAT I LOVED, an intimate and
enlightening account of her search for the key to her mysterious
nervous disorder, which brilliantly illuminates the connection
between mind and body. 'Readers of Oliver Sacks will rate this book
highly; as with Sacks, scientific knowledge and a powerful capacity
for empathy are closely linked . . . It is Hustvedt's gift to write
with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear.' HILARY
MANTEL, Guardian While speaking at a memorial event for her father,
the novelist Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck
down. Was it triggered by nerves, emotion - or something else
entirely? In this profoundly thought-provoking and revealing book,
Hustvedt takes the reader on her journey through psychiatry,
philosophy, neuroscience and medical history in search of a
diagnosis. Conveying the often frightening mysteries of illness,
she illuminates the perennially mysterious connection between mind
and body and what we mean by 'I'.
