How would you make sense of your life if you thought it might end tomorrow? In this captivating and best-selling memoir Vesna Goldsworthy tells the story of herself, her family and her early life in her lost country. There follows marriage, a move to England and a successful media and academic career, then a cancer diagnosis and its unresolved consequences. A profoundly moving, comic and original account by a stunning literary talent. 

'Exceptional. If there has been a more honest, calm and profoundly moving memoir written in the last few years, then I've missed it.' Times Literary Supplement 

'Funny, painful, and brilliant... Fantastically well written... I hope that it will soon take its place among the Lolitas of Tehran and the Booksellers of Kabul' Tim Judah, Observer

'Exceptional. If there has been a more honest, calm and profoundly moving memoir written in the last few years, then I've missed it.'--Times Literary Supplement 'Funny, painful, and brilliant - Fantastically well written - I hope that it will soon take its place among the Lolitas of Tehran and the Booksellers of Kabul' Tim Judah, Observer 'Exceptional. If there has been a more honest, calm and profoundly moving memoir written in the last few years, then I've missed it' Andrew Taylor, TLS 'Three qualities make Vesna Goldsworthy's memoir stand apart - her honesty, he skill as a writer and the fascinating circumstances of her life. Her ability to find unexpected, subtle connections in the pattern of her own life elevates this absorbing memoir into something extraordinary' Josh Lacey, Guardian 'Engrossing - the work of a fiercely honest and cultivated intelligence' Paul Bailey, Sunday Times
