This page-turner of a book about a flu epidemic that wipes out most of the world's population hits close to home. It is also a meditation on the importance of art and beauty in a harsh world. I highly recommend it!

This book was not only compelling but utterly fascinating as well. I never knew anything about immortal cells before reading this. What a page-turner!
