More importantly, this book is a testament to the parallel trials and courage of the family members of stroke victims' New York Times Book Review 'Few of us can write in perfect health with the wit, skill, honesty and compassion that McCrum manages following a stroke' Professor Anthony Clare At the age of forty-two, happy, successful and newly married, Robert McCrum suffered a devastating stroke.
