When brain cancer left Martino Sclavi unable to recognise words, he closed his eyes and moved his fingers across the keyboard to write The Finch in My Brain.

Here Russell Brand reads a short extract, where Martino meets the finch in his brain.

Searching for the words between life and death, this book shows that with determination and a subtle, persistent sense of humour, it is possible to change the story of our lives.
