“I couldn’t stop talking about this book for weeks after I read it. There is so much cultural history tied to TB that I had no idea about (beauty, fashion, the feminine ideal, more!). I was astonished. And for as ubiquitous as TB is in literature, I realized while reading this book that I knew so little of TB’s origin as a disease, and how it still impacts the world today. Highly recommend.”

“Who’d have thunk a book about tuberculosis could be so…gripping?”

“A bitter, bitter pill in a post-DOGE world, but an ultimately hopeful story about how just a little bit of money and attention could alter the course of the deadliest infectious disease on earth.”
