In 1518, in a small town in Alsace, Frau Troffea began dancing and didn't stop. She danced until she was carried away six days later, and soon 34 more villagers joined her. Then more. In a month more than 400 people had been stricken by the mysterious dancing plague. In late-19th-century England an eccentric gentleman founded the No Nose Club in his gracious townhome - a social club for those who had lost their noses, and other body parts, to the plague of syphilis for which there was then no cure.

Didn't know syphilis could be so fascinating.

A story that needs to be told and repeated into the future.
Revisado: 01-22-20
One of the most astounding books of research into the stories of diseases, their formation and challenge to be recognized and defeated. The list and bare facts can be so dry and as deadly as the diseases it covers. But the author has imbued her research and writing with a clarity for how the disease began and flourished, a passion for the suffering, along with making the history of human triumph one we can hold on to in this age of constant rivalry in whose beliefs are right or wrong. Kudos to Jennifer Wright for showing us how important it is to work for the benefit of all, not just “our party”. !!!

Love Dr Siri and his Wonderful Crew
Revisado: 04-25-17
You always get two stories for the price of one. Dr Siri and his family of unique characters never fail to engage and amuse each other, Dr Siri and the reader. And Dr Siri's special perception of the ghosts of the newly dead allow the author to bring the Laotian people to life. Another satisfying encounter with the state of the world of Laos in the 70's.

A FAVORITE
Revisado: 03-26-17
The only thing to make it better would be to introduce each doctor specifically and who narrates the story. I recognize Tom Baker and David Tennant and John Pertwee along with my favorite opponent the original The Master. I hope you do ALL the stories!!

Liked character development and historical significance. Kept my interest with many plot twists and turns. Never the expected conclusion.

In 1978 in poverty-stricken Laos, a man from the city with a truck was somebody—a catch for even the prettiest village virgin. The corpse of one of these bucolic beauties turns up in Dr. Siri’s morgue, and his curiosity is piqued. The victim was tied to a tree and strangled, but she had not, as the doctor had expected, been raped. And though the victim had smooth, pale skin over most of her body, her hands and feet were gnarled, callused, and blistered.

My favorites in every Cotterall book are his precise, acute, comparative descriptions of people, places and circumstances. His characters have all the flaws and quirks that bring each to life so vividly. His stories weave all the mismatched details together with humor and loving care. I can't wait for the next installment.
