Gayle Kennedy's description of her reactions to chemical and petrol fumes
reminded me of a recently published (hardback) book that may be of special
interest to those of you who have this problem. For the rest of us, it is a
reminder that things could be worse.
 
"Out of the World: A Woman's Life Among the Amish." by Mary Swander, is a
memoir, written by a woman who moved to an Amish community in rural Iowa to
escape as much as possible from the chemicals that were making her ill. Ms.
Swander writes beautifully about life and friendships in her community, and
her account of what it is like to be only a few catch-em-yourself frog legs
away from starvation is a masterpiece.
