Description
Sue Lawley's guest this week is Robert McCrum. The author of six highly acclaimed novels and literary editor of the Observer, he describes how he woke up one morning, at the age of 42, to a raging headache and partial paralysis. He had suffered a stroke and it was to take him more than a year to recover. Later, he was to write a memoir about that process which became not only a guide to other sufferers, but also a love story dedicated to his wife.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Prelude - Cello Suite No 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach
