Description
27 Days in November - Daisy's Story could not be written by Daisy herself. During her life, Daisy has recovered from a malignant brain tumour, a fat embolism in her lung that developed after a simple broken leg, which caused acute respiratory failure resulting in a 27 day stay in an Intensive Care Unit (much like what happens to the worst affected COVID-19 patients) and twenty years later, a stroke. Her survival, achievements, and triumph of character in the face of such experiences are remarkable. Our society doesn't usually see or acknowledge lives like Daisy's, and stories like hers are rarely told.
Daisy's story moves back and forth in time to show how the past continues to resonate in the present day, and its fragmented structure reflects the incalculable effect of serious illness. There are letters, hospital literature and excerpts from medical papers to show the complexity and strangeness of Daisy's experiences, and of the person who tells her story, her mum.
27 Days in November - Daisy's Story is a love letter from a mother to a daughter.
