One Unknown
Survivor of the London Bombings
by Gill Hicks
This is an incredibly moving account of tragedy and its aftermath, as told by Gill Hicks, survivor of the London bombings in July 2005. Gill was the last person to be pulled alive from the wreckage of the tube train at Russell Square underground station.
Unidentifiable on arrival in hospital, having sustained horrific injuries which led to both of her legs being amputated, Gill was labelled as "One Unknown" on her wristband and life hung in the balance for several days. She was saved by the dedication of the medical staff treating her, and by her own single-minded will to survive.
This is, quite simply, a wonderful book. It is humbling, uplifting, funny and deeply moving, and it contains a message of great, yet quiet power. Gill writes with honesty, humour and courage. One Unknown is a call to us all to strive for a more tolerant and peaceful world. This paperback edition contains a new foreword - three years after the bombings - plus a new chapter written by Gill's husband, giving his account of the events of the past three years.

INSIGHT
Sharing the wisdom and insights
from an extraordinary
and continuing
Lived Experience.
Facing death, indeed not having a pulse for 30 minutes, has offered a depth and unique appreciation for Life.
I am in awe of our ability to continue, to rebuild and draw upon a strength that perhaps lays dormant until its needed. It is this observation that started my curiosity with how we live within a fragile existence.
Where there is Life, there is Hope..
