The sharp wit, charm, eagle-eyed observations and pure sarcasm are sheer magic.
By Ali - The Dragon Slayer
After listening to the audiobook ‘The Egg and I’ I leapt at the chance of listening to ‘The Plague and I’. Now bear in mind this is OLD fashioned and thankfully the treatment of TB has improved drastically over the years. This follows the plight of Betty as she spends nearly a year in a sanitarium in the USA in the 1930’s ish.At that time the dreaded disease was a killer and the only possible cure was total rest. How can you possibly have an entire book based around this without it being boring I hear you ask? Well ….. you need to meet Betty!!The sharp wit, charm, eagle-eyed observations and pure sarcasm are sheer magic. She describes in length the whole rigmoral of the routine followed, the rather meagre conditions, these days it would be considered patient abuse to shiver with cold as the charge nurse insists the windows are flung open in mid-winter!You can almost taste the food yuck! The description of each of her room mates is either hilarious or hideous. I can’t imagine she was an easy person to be confined to bed next to.As time goes on and her home life seems a distant memory with limited visits allowed from family, Betty can only dream of escape. First she has to complete each treatment and move to the next section. The whole story depends on whether or not she can survive or go home. And IF she does go home will she ever be able to adapt to normality again after being institutionalised for so long. I found the mental dilemma one of the most fascinating aspects of the story.The audiobook is over 8 hours long but it speeds by, highly enjoyable, great narration that lures the listener in. I highly recommend this if you want a cure for feeling sorry for yourself .. not sure it would be ideal for hypochondriacs though! I am already listening to another book by Betty.I voluntarily ‘read’ and reviewed this, thanks to Jess at AudioBookWorm and of course the publishers, author, narrator etc

The Plague and I
By Keen Reader
Having re-read The Egg and I, and thoroughly enjoyed it as always, I hunted out a copy of The Plague and I (thanks to my Aunt who had a copy published in 1949), and re-read this as well. I first read this quite a few years ago, and I don't think, at the time, it quite struck me with the seriousness that it must have been at the time of getting tuberculosis in 1937. And yet the author still retained her old sharp ability to see all sides of life and the people with whom she shared it that had so enlivened her life on a chicken farm years earlier. Like the books by Monica Dickens, Betty MacDonald seems to have quite a unique view on the world, and one which we as their readers are lucky enough to still be able to share through their writings.This book is full of anecdotes of recovery from tuberculosis during eight and a half months in a sanitorium; happy, sad, touching and depressing moments all put together with Betty MacDonald's unique way of looking at life and all that's in it. Thoroughly recommended.
