Since that dreadful night, she has been severely paralysed, and she'll be describing the effect on her life: the dreams she has in which she no longer has to use a wheelchair, the new friends she's made and the old ones who turned out not to be such good friends in adversity and how her previous experience of mental illness - in the form of severe depression - compares with her current physical incapacity.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Nocturne by Evert TaubeBook: Hillier's Dictionary of Plants by HillierLuxury: An endless team of Man Fridays
