Sobre este item
New York, New York, U.S.A. : Doubleday, 2005. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by authors on title page in black fountain ink. Lydia Kilkenny is eager to move beyond her South Boston childhood, and when she marries Henry Wickett, a shy Boston Brahmin who plans to become a doctor, her future seems assured. That path changes when Henry abandons his medical studies and enlists Lydia to help him invent a mail-order medicine called Wickett's Remedy. Then the 1918 influenza epidemic sweeps through Boston, and in a world turned upside down Lydia must forge her own path through the tragedy unfolding around her. As she secures work as a nurse at a curious island medical station conducting human research into the disease, Henry's former business partner steals the formula for Wickett's Remedy to create for himself a new future, trying - and almost succeeding - to erase the past he is leaving behind. Alive with narrative ingenuity, WICKETT'S REMEDY is tinged with humor as well as sorrow, Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] MLBS2
