Foreword by Bill Bryson. The powerful and moving memoir by a scientist and mother of three of how she learned to live again after a sudden severe infection caused her to die but then revive with 'locked-in syndrome' - able only to blink an eye. At the age of 38, Rikke Schmidt Kjærgaard, a Danish scientist, wife and mother of three, is...

struck down by an acute bout of bacterial meningitis. She awakes from a coma in intensive care to find herself completely paralysed, unable to show she is conscious except by blinking her eye.

It becomes her only form of communication as in the months that follow, Kjærgaard's husband, Peter, sits beside her, helping to interpret every eye movement. She struggles with every basic of life - painfully learning how to breathe, move, eat and speak again.

Despite being given a 5 percent chance of survival, she works intensively to recover and achieve every small breakthrough. The Blink of an Eye is a celebration of love and family and every little thing that matters when life is in the balance - written by a scientist uniquely able to describe her physical and mental journey to recovery.
