☺️Colin Grant –

A Smell Of Burning❤️

I realise this might be of minority interest if, unlike me, you haven’t spent your whole adult life with epilepsy being front and centre, but bear with me.

It’s part thorough history of the condition, part look into what it actually is and how it works and part movingly human story about Grant’s own personal interest in epilepsy through the story of his brother.

The bit that really had me up til late and actually taking notes was the history of the condition itself from ancient Greece and Rome right to the present day. Some of it was staggering even to me. Did you know that up until 1970 when a priest asked in a marriage ceremony “does anyone know of any lawful impediment…?” that epilepsy was a legally permissible answer?

I know all about my own epilepsy, how it works, the facts and figures but the history of it has been pretty much a blind-spot for me. This sorted it.

Utterly fascinating, a brilliant history and a human story as well. Loved it.
