Description
Ill Feelings by Alice Hattrick explores the complex and often misunderstood world of medically unexplained illnesses. When both the author's mother and she herself fell ill with symptoms that defied explanation, they embarked on a journey to uncover the truth about their conditions. This genre-bending memoir delves into the history of illness in women, drawing on the stories of writers such as Virginia Woolf and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as well as the experiences of nurses like Florence Nightingale. With a sense of generative rage, Hattrick's book is a powerful exploration of life with an unexplained illness. Through her own story and that of her mother, Hattrick sheds light on a subject that has long been shrouded in mystery. The result is a moving and defiant work that challenges our understanding of illness and its impact on individuals and families.
