When Claire Sylvia received a heart-lung transplant she believes she also
inherited some of the personality of the donor. The ancient Egyptians, for whom
the heart rather than the brain was the centre of being, may have found this

this memoir, A Change of Heart, is likely to agree. Published by Little, Brown,
£15.99, ISBN 0 316 88348 4.
