In this deeply personal memoir an eminent historian explores her own history. She dramatises the ways in which illness challenges and subverts the self, and explores how writing can become part of the imperative to recover. Vivid and compelling, the subject of Tiger's Eye is not being ill or well, but being alive.

"In her early 50s, Australian historian Inga Clendinnen found herself diagnosed with an incurable liver disease. As her body and her mind deteriorated, she felt a need to write - about her childhood as well as her experience with illness. The result is a story about the fragility of self and the strength of the creative spirit."
