Saggy, baggy, depressed, rushing to hospital every five minutes with suspected heart attacks - it doesn't sound like a recipe for hilarity. But Rachael Malai Ali sparkles with wit throughout her story, whether she is freaking out at Christmas, being cured of 'possession' by a Bornean medicine man or running away from a waiting plane. The Cow Jumped Over the Moon is a compelling tale of overcoming mental illness, suitable for sufferers, carers or anyone wanting an extraordinary insight into a mind in the grip of a nervous breakdown. Above all, it shows us how we can rediscover the light at the end of the tunnel, and perhaps laugh along the way.
