With verve and sensitivity, Grant tells the stories of individual sufferers. -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times, Book of the Year * Grant's exploration of the literary, political, medical and scientific history of epilepsy is hugely compelling; his telling of the story of two brothers transcends the book's twin genres and leaves us with a wry, gentle masterpiece. -- Seamus Sweeney * Times Literary Supplement * A fascinating personal and historical account. ***** -- Helen Brown * Sunday Telegraph * A flawless amalgam of personal memoir, mind science and medical history. -- Ian Thomson * Spectator * In writing A Smell of Burning... Grant may yet save more lives as a writer than he did as a doctor. -- Helen Brown * Daily Telegraph * As a memoir of Christopher's trajectory of illness it is tenderly expressed, and the book is a poignant evocation of grief and regret. -- Gavin Francis * Guardian * He brings a core of expert knowledge and skill as a communicator to the story... [An] absorbing and sometimes horrifying tale. -- John Gribbon * Literary Review * At its best is like the works of other medics-turned-authors Atul Gawande and Henry Marsh. -- Tom Whipple * The Times * [Grant] helps us gain an eminently accessible insight into a world that...is still shrouded in mystery. It is a touching tale of brotherly love. -- Helen Davies * Sunday Times *More details
