In 1992, Marilyn French was told she had one year to live. A smoker of
48 years she was diagnosed as having cancer of the oesophagus, a cancer
which is almost always fatal. Five years on, having battled with
chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a heart attack and her back breaking, she
is very much alive. And - astonishingly - her body shows no sign of
cancer.
A Season in Hell is a remarkable, unsentimental, life-affirming
journey from an indomitable woman who brought the fighting power she has
always brought to the war between the sexes, to the war that for a while
raged from within her.
