Chloe Green’s intriguing review of “Tremor, A Movement Disorder in a Disordered World” by Sonya Voumard. Voumard felt her hands begin to shake in her childhood, a tremble she shared with her recently deceased father. Over time, as the tremor grows more potent, and more visible to others, she begins to search for an explanation, an underlying cause, and possibly a treatment. Struck a chord as a family member suffers from tremors.

“What is it about shaking that’s so disempowering? Is it because fear, rage, cold and fever are among its many negative causes. Shaking can also make you look weak, sick, nervous, addicted, not in control, lacking in confidence.”
