Product Description
Review
"When Sheila Hale's husband John suffered a stroke that left him unable to walk, write or speak normally, she embarked on a battle to restore him to normal life. This book shows how she followed every medical trail... and at the same time maintained an extraordinary loving intimacy with him. She tells their joint story with rare intelligence and feeling" Claire Tomalin; "An extraordinary achievement: a moving account of an intimate relationship, and a rigorous investigation into the most up-to-date medical theories and treatments of a mysterious affliction. It raises all kinds of questions about language, communication and the brain. Most remarkable, it's full of jokes and surprises" Anthony Sampson
The Independent, 6 July, 2002
a loving exploration of a world which to outsiders seems like a landscape of unimaginable destruction
