Breathing Room by
Marsha Hayles was a book that a few people were talking about at the library last week, so I figured it would be worth a look at. The story takes place in Minnesota at fictional Loon Lake Sanitarium. Thirteen year old Evvy has tuberculosis in 1940 and has to go to a sanitarium in hopes that she will recover. I cannot imagine how people spent extended time in places like that in homes of recovering from TB. It also makes me wonder how medical advances will change health care in the future.
