The challenges facing Maggie O’Farrell’s young daughter who has a serious immunology disorder. Concluded by Hattie Morahan.

Maggie O'Farrell's startling memoir, in which the bestselling author recounts her life through a series of near-death experiences. 

The book started out as a private project, a way for O'Farrell to help her young daughter who suffers from a serious immunology disorder, including severe eczema and allergies that can cause her anaphylactic shock: "I've asked myself, when she has been very ill, how do you carry on when death is a daily possibility?"

In this final episode, O'Farrell describes the challenges she and her family face trying to give her daughter as normal life a life as possible.
