'\"Fall\" is the right word; it is almost as alarming and quite as precipitous as falling in love.' In this deeply personal book she takes us on a journey into dangerous territory in which her body, her mind and her life itself are irrevocably changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaiting for the mysterious interventions of medical science, Clendinnen becomes fascinated with her new existence in the sealed world of hospital. And, as she waits, she begins to write: about her childhood, her parents, her own history. She recovers half-forgotten stories and invents new ones, exploring and mapping the obscure terrain that divides history from fiction and truth from memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIGER'S EYE is a mesmerising book. With its vivid recollections, its weird hallucinatory narratives, its accounts of failing consciousness and heightened creativity, it is a book about how illness challenges the self and how the disabling of the body can liberate the imagination. Lucid, fearless, passionate and wise, its true subject is being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inga Clendinnen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47095927865513,"sku":"9781876485269","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781876485269.jpg?v=1778901714","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/tigers-eye-a-memoir-1","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
