In "My Leper Friends: An Account of Personal Work Among Lepers, and of Their Daily Life in India," Alice M. Hayes provides a poignant and deeply personal narrative that captures the intertwined lives of lepers and their caregivers in early 20th-century India. Through a series of vignettes, Hayes offers a vivid portrayal of the physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by individuals suffering from leprosy. Her compassionate prose is enriched with rich descriptive detail and firsthand observations that reflect both the harsh realities and the dignity of her subjects, placing the work within the sociocultural context of colonial India and the evolving attitudes towards disease and care during this period. Alice M. Hayes, a missionary and health worker, dedicated her life to the welfare of marginalized communities, which profoundly informed her empathetic approach in this book. Drawing from her extensive field experience, Hayes imbues her account with a sense of authenticity and urgency; her background in social work and medicine equipped her to understand the complexities of illness and rehabilitation, as well as the stigma surrounding leprosy at the time. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in social justice, medical humanities, and historical narratives. Hayes's work serves as both a compelling memoir and an important statement on compassion and resilience, shedding light on a marginalized population often overlooked in contemporary discourse.
