“Robson … confidently addresses the harm, anger, and intergenerational trauma as well as honest accounts of the beneficial treatment given, the positive relationships formed, and the art created during this period. Robson offers an encyclopaedic investigation into life in 20th century leprosaria, tactfully giving voice to both staff and patients. … The book could be seen as a celebration of the work of Catholic missionaries … .” (Jonathan Blott, The Lancet Infectious Diseases, January 5, 2023)
