Описание книги

The true story of a remarkable life – and a death deferred. Siobhán was a Belfast girl from a working class family who grew up to become a university professor and world-renowned authority on English and Irish literature. In 2000, Siobhán Kilfeather was diagnosed with terminal cancer. By then she was married and a mother of two young children. In February 2000 she embarked on a pilgrimage to Lourdes and through the power of prayer she made a pact with the Virgin Mary – a mother to a mother – Siobhán asked for more time so that her children could grown to an age where they would know and remember her. Three days later she checked into the Royal Marsden Hospital in London for a course of radiotherapy.• Suffering from cancerous melanoma the surgeon was amazed when her x-ray showed that the cancer in her lungs had gone, any treatment was no-longer needed. Seven years later the cancer returned. But Siobhán died peacefully with the knowledge that her time had come.

Отрывок из книги

Dedicated with grateful thanks to the relatives, friends and colleagues who were more than happy to contribute their memories of Professor Kilfeather for inclusion in Siobhan’s Miracle. These pages reflect the love and admiration that surrounded her at every turn. Thanks too to John Blake, editor Daniel Bunyard and everyone at John Blake Publishing for so readily devoting their time and talent to make it possible for us to tell the story of this remarkable woman. Special thanks to Medbh McGuckian for her splendid poetry, To Dr Clair Wills and The Guardian for Siobhan’s obituary and to Gary Eason, who provided most of the photographs.

At that moment, beside her

.....

That night in bed I clung to Peter, who lay rigid with fear beside me. Each time I tried to close my eyes I was tormented with feelings of stark terror.

Neither of us slept a wink all night.
