Country Madness: An English Country Diary of a Singaporean Psychiatrist

Country Madness is a delightfully quirky memoir of a Singaporean psychiatrist in rural England who has an acute eye for cultural differences as well as the wonderful frailties of the human psyche. In humorous and insightful prose, Dr Ong describes living in two cultures and belonging to both. He shares his thoughts about his adopted home, his Chinese cultural roots and his attraction to the mysterious Carolyn as well as to pheasants (which he considers a prototype of the Chinese phoenix).
