A great, if heartbreaking book. The author presents a relatively impartial history of how a group of thoroughly committed and well meaning people are caught together in a situation that somehow trumps all their good intentions. It has history, culture, folklore, humor, medicine and humanity. Highly recommended

Grin recommended this book to me after we had a conversation about different cultural perspectives re medicine and wellness. If you have any interest in global health and/or how the US health care system treats immigrants and refugees, this is a must-read. Anne Fadiman's a brilliant writer, and in this book she takes a personal interest in the Hmong family on which the story is based, so it's an especially moving account vs. what you might read about medical anthropology in a journal or magazine.… (més)
