I'm not sure why I didn't review it then, but I can't stop thinking about it now. A deadly disease. Mandatory quarantine. Racism against Chinese immigrants. Sound familiar? This book is set in 1900, but so many aspects of it are relevant today with COVID-19. ( ) I love historical fiction that gives us a glimpse of portions of history we haven't heard a lot about. In this new adventure/mystery set in 1900 San Francisco, a medical mystery highlights the tension between Chinese Americans and white San Francisco residents. Issues of class, race, and gender are everywhere, not to mention the pretty scary state of medical knowledge at the time! What an interesting book to read during a pandemic! The discussions of the role of competing financial interests and racial and class biases in crafting public health policy, distribution of treatment, and dissemination of information are very relevant, as is the issue of vaccine hesitancy. Aside from the timeliness, this is quite an enjoyable read about a young woman trying to find her way in the world. Another from Build Your Library, level 6. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
