Item description from seller

Until 2010, Lindy Jones was a lively, extroverted teacher who had been Head of English in two comprehensive schools: one in in North London and the other in Hertfordshire. She had a loud raucous laugh and loved nothing better than a few glasses of wine and a good night out with her friends. That is until the summer of 2010 when she first noticed that she was slurring her speech. Somewhat of a hypochondriac, she became extremely worried by this strange symptom and once school broke up for the summer she embarked on a series of appointments with medical experts until, finally, a neurologist gave her the shocking news: motor neurone disease a rare, degenerative, incurable illness that ends in death, usually within five years. The account of her illness begins in October 2011 but flashes back to the summer of her diagnosis and latterly to her career in teaching and early life. Lindy found that writing about her illness helped with the despair she felt, and continues to feel, about having a terminal illness which robs you of the ability to talk, eat and move. Always someone who could make fun of her own failings, Lindy discovers that she is still able to see the humour in her situation at the same time as acknowledging the emotional pain as her body deteriorates. The Voice in My Head is Perfect is a brutally honest account about the particular cruelty of this neurological illness as well as being a celebration of a life well-lived. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Description de la boutique

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
