Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy, was unable to control her speech and movements. But his intelligence and courage enabled him to learn to read and write - to paint and use a typewriter - and even to write this book. In this book, where she wrote her own life story, Christy Brown tells how she fought a great struggle using her left foot to learn all these things and how she clung to life. The author has another book called Every Day Hüzün, which can be considered as a sequel to this book. My Left Foot was also adapted to the big screen in a very successful movie of the same name, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Christy Brown. Fascinating and entertaining... It inspires the reader.
