The Alchemy of Illness

There was something so very comforting about reading this book. Kat Duff is very good at explaining the feeling of descending into the underworld that comes with ongoing illness, and the topsy-turvy way the world sometimes feels in comparison. She gives a new way of seeing the experience of illness and ennobling it. It is why she can say at the end of the book that she hopes she does not forget what she has learned while being in that world.
