Description
Mary Beth Keane is the guest. Her latest novel, Fever, is now available from Scribner.
The New York Times Book Review calls it
“[A] tender, detailed portrayal of willed ignorance collapsing in the face of truth…A fine novel.”
And USA Today says
“[Keane] is a talented storyteller, her style plain and steady, not unlike Mary’s demeanor. What’s most remarkable about this novel is its brilliantly visceral vision of everyday life in early-1900s New York City, a rich and detailed working-class backdrop filled with the sights, sounds and smells of tenement squalor, overcrowded apartments, unsanitary conditions, sweatshops, and streets teaming with people trying to survive…If you have an appetite for historical fiction, this novel could be infectious.”
