Product Description
Product Description
If you had breath for no more than 99 words, what would they be? Liz Gray put this question to 99 people whose voices she loved and admired. Liz was a successful film-maker until a serious injury left her for a while unable to speak, write or read comfortably for more than a few minutes at a time. Hers had been a visual world. Now she had to think again. She turned for help to those she most wanted to hear. Her request touched a chord in an extraordinary range of people: poets and musicians, politicians and scientists, people working for peace, for spiritual understanding and for health. Their response showed her how every word can be precious.

Format:Paperback
A wonderful little book with a selection of wisdom and reflections - some profound, some poetic and others funny. It is more than a book of quotations -most of the people in it have contributed their own original ideas. It's good to explore, easy to dip into and makes a brilliant present for a thoughtful person.
