"After suffering a massive stroke, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French Elle and the father of two young children found himself competely paralysed, speechless and only able to move one eyelid. With his eyelid he 'dictated' this remarkable book."

Moving, compelling, positive and fascinating. Not morbid.
