"In a multidimensional, intricately wrought narrative, Myla Goldberg leads us back to Boston in the early part of the twentieth century. Lydia, an Irish American shopgirl with big aspirations, is well on her way to the life she has dreamed of when she marries Henry Wickett. However, soon after their wedding, Henry abruptly quits medical school to create a mail-order patent medicine called Wickett's Remedy, and just as Lydia begins to adjust to her husband's new vocation, the infamous Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918 begins its deadly sweep across the world, irrevocably changing their lives.   Based on years of research and evoking actual events, Wickett's Remedy perfectly captures the texture of the times and brings a colorful cast of characters vividly to life - none more so than Lydia, a heroine as winning and appealing as Eliza, the beloved spelling champion of Bee Season" [from the dust jacket]
