When I read the first few chapters of this book on Bookish First, I knew I NEEDED to finish this book! It was so good!
It’s 1918 and German immigrant, Pia Lange and her family gather with the thousands of other people in Philadelphia to see the Liberty Loan Parade to cheer on the WWI veterans. Soon after the parade, many people start dying of the flu. Pia’s mother falls victim to the flu and Pia is forced to take care of her twin brothers since her father is away in the army. When Pia goes in search of food to feed her family, tragedy strikes and Pia’s life will never be the same again.
This book read more like a page-turning thriller than a historical fiction novel, I just couldn’t put this book down! It was suspenseful and heart-breaking. I loved Pia’s character and Wiseman’s writing, which brought the characters and events to life. This was such a well-researched, fascinating, and timely novel that I highly recommend!
