A novel of three generations of twentieth-century women by a New York Times–bestselling author who “will inspire you with love, laughter and courage” (Luanne Rice, author of The Secret Language of Sisters). Even in her twilight years, Lily Adams is an inspiration and a source of strength to those around her. Perhaps none is more touched by her presence than her granddaughter, Amy—who will find Lily her unlikely savior when a crisis unfolds. In this multigenerational family saga, we watch Lily reflect on her past and present, and meet three generations of the Adams, sharing their loves, their weaknesses, and their hardships—and we are reminded of the impact we can have on the people who surround us, even in the mere echo of ourselves after we have gone. Take Me Back is a poignant novel from an author who “illuminates our deepest hopes and secret fears, showing us what matters most” (Deborah Smith, author of The Stone Flower Garden).

A darkly comic and moving memoir on what it means to be human in a world where nothing is certain, from the award-winning Oxford professor. ‘A book that will stay with you for life’ NATALIE HAYNES ‘The best book about multiple sclerosis’ THE TIMES We all have trapdoors in our lives. Sometimes we jump off just in time... But sometimes we are unlucky. My own trapdoor was hidden in the consulting room of an Oxford neurologist. When the trapdoor opened for Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, he plummeted into a world of MRI scans, a disobedient body and the crushing unpredictability of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. But, as he explores in Metamorphosis, his fall also did something else. It took him deep into his own mind: his hopes, his fears, his loves and losses, and the books that would sustain, inform and nourish him as his life began to transform in ways he could never have imagined. ‘A pitch-perfect memoir... touchingly honest and darkly funny’ JACQUELINE WILSON ‘An outstanding feat... Riveting’ SUNDAY TIMES
