The Fervor by Alma Katsu

4.0

---

The Fervor was written through the lens of someone whose family experienced internment camps firsthand. What's amazing (and/or depressing) is how relevant this story is to our current climate. Swap out some era-specific details with a few modern flourishes and Alma Katsu's novel could take place in modern times. Katsu's strength is placing the reader in the story and skillfully weaving various narratives into a web whose pages we want to flip increasingly faster.

Excellent choice for lovers of historical fiction with an edge.
