The Second Life of Mirielle West by Amanda Skenandore

Me and Lady review “The Second Life of Mirielle West” by Amanda Skenandore. Super fascinating read about leprosy (now called Hansen’s Disease) and it’s social and cultural impact. Carville was a real town between 1894-1950s that forcibly quarantined those stricken with the disease. While the disease carries a lot of weight in the story, it’s really about second chances and the social implications of how we handle the sick and maligned in society. Will keep you reading. 4 out of 5 bocks!!🐓
