Review of 'The spirit catches you and you fall down' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is an amazing book which sensitively and compassionately tells the story of a girl caught between two cultural traditions,which manages to see both the positive aspects and the difficulties engendered by both culture's attitudes toward illness and medicine.
