I did not know almost anything about the Spanish Flu until a couple of weeks ago, when all this CoronaVirus craziness started happening. I wondered how in the early 1900 people were coping with the virus without having any access to technologies or ways to communicate as we do now. This book is the answer to all of my questions. Although a work of fiction, Wiseman shows all of her storyteller capabilities to deliver us with precious insights on what it means to be a parent-less child at the time of the Spanish Flu. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject. This book is guaranteed to be a bestseller. What a timing for the author. Good luck!
