She wanted to understand why she had stopped coping with everyday life; why motherhood had been so overwhelming and isolating, and why the world felt full of inundation and expectations she can't meet. Setting her feet down on the rugged and difficult path by the sea, the answer begins to unfold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Electricity of Every Living Thing\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the year in which Katherine comes to terms with a diagnosis which shakes her to her core. It leads to a re-evaluation of her life so far - a kinder one, which finally allows her to be different rather than simply awkward, arrogant or unfeeling. The physical and psychological journeys become inextricably entwined, and as Katherine finds her way across the untameable coast, she also finds the way to herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat readers are saying about \u003ci\u003eThe Electricity of Every Living Thing\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eHonest and sensitive\u003c\/b\u003e' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'\u003c\/b\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eastonishing sensitivity and awareness\u003c\/b\u003e in her writing, both about the beautiful landscapes and nature around on her walks, and in relation to her family, friends and self \u003cb\u003eput paid to many outdated myths about what it is like to be autistic\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Compelling and transformative. \u003c\/b\u003eI could not put this book down so I stayed in bed and read it in one go.\u003cb\u003e'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Katherine has a fantastic way with words, I could read her books for hours on end, they are \u003cb\u003ecalming and relatable.\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Read it - \u003cb\u003eyou won't regret it\u003c\/b\u003e.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31887690170465,"sku":"9781409172512","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_8130904_jpg.jpg?v=1706772198","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781409172512-electricity-of-every-living-thing","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
