As socially significant as both world wars, the Spanish flu dramatically disrupted-and often permanently altered-global politics, race relations and family structures, while spurring innovation in medicine, religion and the arts. In this gripping narrative history, Laura Spinney traces the overlooked pandemic to reveal how the virus travelled across the globe, exposing mankind's vulnerability and putting our ingenuity to the test. But despite a death toll of between 50 and 100 million people, it exists in our memory as an afterthought to World War I. It infected a third of the people on Earth-from the poorest immigrants of New York City to the king of Spain, Franz Kafka, Mahatma Gandhi and Woodrow Wilson. The Spanish flu of 1918-1920 was one of the greatest human disasters of all time. In 1918, the Italian-Americans of New York, the Yupik of Alaska and the Persians of Mashed had almost nothing in common except for a virus-one that triggered the worst pandemic of modern times and had a decisive effect on the history of the twentieth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Competing romances, slippery spies, and the horrors of the Blitz combine in an exciting mystery/adventure."- Kirkus Reviews Readers will hope to see a lot more of Ellie."- Publishers Weekly (starred) Weaver does a sensational job of evoking 1940 London and populates the story with endearing characters.

I read this late at night and it sent a few shivers down my spine, the art work was spectacular with a very messy overall feel to it during the darker scenes. Basically the whole world he has created alongside our own is really freaky. The Wytches in questions are really creepy looking and the way the trees are incorporated into the pledging event and their nests is really interesting. Her coping methods are great and also there to add a little smile to this otherwise dark and uncomfortable story. She suffers from anxiety which has only worstened after a bad event which is why they’re in a new town. Sailor, the daughter, and other main character is great too. There is nothing, or very little you can do, but this story focuses on the father who does try even though the world and everyone seems to be working against him.

Though that is not to say its a perfect and happy relationship. It mostly follows a daughter and father relationship throughout the story which is a nice change. There is no doubt about it, and it felt like a very real horror too.
