Wealthy tubercular patients live in private cure cottages; charity patients, mainly immigrants, fill the large public sanatorium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrisoners of routine, they take solace in gossip, rumour, and―sometimes―secret attachments. But when the well-meaning efforts of one enterprising patient lead instead to a tragic accident and a terrible betrayal, the war comes home, bringing with it a surge of anti-immigrant prejudice and vigilante sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea Barrett masterfully sets this luminous novel in a historical period of great progress in science and medicine―even in the art of war. Her richly complex men and women, with their passions and vulnerabilities, engage and haunt us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrea Barrett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43928478744745,"sku":"9780393333077","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/barrett.jpg?v=1712880430","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-air-we-breathe-a-novel","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
