Synopsis
"Getting tuberculosis in the middle of your life is like starting downtown to do a lot of urgent errands and being hit by a bus. When you regain consciousness you remember nothing about the urgent errands. You can't even remember where you were going." Thus begins Betty MacDonald's memoir of her year in a sanatorium just outside Seattle battling the "White Plague." MacDonald uses her offbeat humor to make the most of her time in the TB sanatorium--making all of us laugh in the process., An upbeat account of her battle at age thirty, The Plague and I is MacDonald's witty take on her experiences in a Seattle sanitarium, where the author spent almost a year (1938-39) battling tuberculosis.
