Fever: A Novel | Mary Beth Keane

#reallifepeople #unforgettablewomen #twofer I loved Mary Mallon, an Irish cook in turn-of-the-century New York, accused of spreading thypoid through her cooking "She tried to make sense of what they told her about invisible microbes that floated in the air, that traveled up the nose & into the mouth. So many years later, it still sounded like a fairy tale meant for children, a little world too small for the human eye" #booktober #octphotochallenge

LeahBergen She's so interesting (but I wouldn't be popping by her house for lunch 😛)! 8y

I found this at a church book sale and was completely fascinated with this woman - I even made my grandparents read it ☺️
