A national treasure's journey to the brink and back, combining stunning new prose poems by Michael Rosen and the moving coronavirus diaries of his nurses, doctors, and wife Emma-Louise Williams, is a beautiful book about love, life, and the NHS.

A Guardian Book of the Year, an Evening Standard Book of the Year, an Independent Book of the Year, and Netgalley's non-fiction Book of the Year, Michael Rosen's journey to the brink and back is a national treasure. He was admitted to the hospital with coronavirus as the nation teetered on the edge of a global pandemic. He spent months on the wards, including six weeks in an induced coma and many more weeks of rehab and recovery as the NHS saved his life and got him back on his feet. Throughout his stay in intensive care, a notebook lay at the end of his bed, where the nurses who cared for him wrote letters of hope and support.

Embarking on the long road to recovery, Michael was soon ready to start writing about his near-death experience. Combining stunning new prose poems by one of Britain's best-loved poets and the moving coronavirus diaries of his nurses, doctors, and wife Emma-Louise Williams, this is a beautiful book about love, life, and the NHS. Featuring original illustrations by Chris Riddell, each page celebrates the power of community, the importance of kind gestures in dark times, and the indomitable spirits of the people who keep us well.
