A British woman living in post-economic collapse Greece, she not only lost movement and speech, but she felt ebbing away her imagination and the use of words, words that she has always loved. Stroke Journeys follows, in an emotional blend of recollection and poetry, the battle to regain all those functions over three hard years. The book is testimony to her struggle against overwhelming odds, and its completion is a proud beacon of her determination and success in that battle.
