I think this is an wonderful book about an interesting time when the medical field in Sweden was growing fast. Jersild draws a picture which I can connect to and be amazed how slowly some things changes and how much other things have changed. As a reader of many of his other books, it's also interesting to get some inside information on how those books came to be. Jersild is also describing difficult dilemmas that he faced and tries to be honest to himself but is generous in sharing frustrations and even mistakes. A great autobiography.
