The Fever Tree by Jennifer McVeigh

4.0

It’s not often I finish a book still undecided on how I feel about the main character. I struggled to like Frances. But upon reflection she was a product of her time and station. The descriptions of travel from the cape north were fabulous and brought back many memories of doing that drive myself. It touched on the vast differences between the colonial “invaders” and those who labored to make the powers great. History is written by the victors and nowhere is it more evident in that those responsible for the smallpox cover up were never truly held accountable. Well worth the read.
