Time and Tide: WINNER Biography of the Year 2022 – An Post Irish Book Awards

di Bird Charlie (Autore)

HarperCollins, 2022

A poignant and introspective memoir from Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird. In 2021, Charlie Bird was diagnosed with motor neurone disease – a man whose voice was so synonymous with his career faced losing it completely. Yet knowing he had just a short time left with family and friends, what emerged was a great sense of resilience and motivation to take advantage of every moment. Here, Charlie reflects on his life and phenomenal broadcast career through the lense of his diagnosis, as he ponders the big questions and takes stock of the small moments that we so often overlook. Written over the course of 2022 as his health deteriorated, with the help of long-time friend and fellow journalist Ray Burke, this is a candid and unforgettable story about the triumph of the human spirit and, ultimately, what it means to be alive. In this award-winning autobiography, Charlie Bird, a top journalist, confronts his physical impairments with an unyielding spirit, turning grief into a testament of resilience. His memoirs, a personal exploration of life, death, and the medical challenges he faces, are a beacon of hope for patients navigating similar trials. For fans of Graham Norton (The Life and Loves of a He Devil), Bono (Surrender), Roddy Doyle (The Second Half), Fintan O'Toole (We Don't Know Ourselves), and Tommie Gorman (Never Better).
