Chest Pain by Michael Harding

In late 2018, Michael Harding was in a hotel room in Blanchardstown experiencing severe pains in his chest.

He eventually phoned an ambulance and was admitted to hospital, suffering from an acute heart attack.

Here, in Chest Pain , he looks at the months before the heart attack when he kept the signs of failing health from his beloved and instead retreated into solitude -- and with his own inimitable style and humour takes us with him through the months after a stent had been inserted in his heart, where he travels the roads of Donegal in a camper van in a journey back to the beloved, and to himself. C

hest Pain is a thought-provoking, spell-binding memoir about togetherness and what it means to be alive.
