The Art of Breathing

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since 2017 when I downloaded it as a promoted item.
This historical fiction tells the story of a young mother diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1950s. The best therapy was isolation in a sanitarium to prevent contagion and treatment with streptomycin, isoniazid, and rifampin. Those medications were still used when I was a pharmacist in the end of the 20th century.
A chronic and life-threatening illness can expose strengths and weaknesses for generations in a family.
I recommend this book.
