Andrea Barrett: The air we breathe

„An evocative panorama of America…on the cusp of enormous change” (Newsday) by the National Book Award-winning author of Ship Fever.
In the fall of 1916, America prepares for war - but in the community of Tamarack Lake, the focus is on the sick. Wealthy tubercular patients live in private cure cottages; charity patients, mainly immigrants, fill the large public sanatorium. Prisoners of routine, they take solace in gossip, rumor, and - sometimes - secret attachments. But when the well-meaning efforts of one enterprising patient lead to a tragic accident and a terrible betrayal, the war comes home, bringing with it a surge of anti-immigrant prejudice and vigilante sentiment.
