Like you I had heard of ‘Typhoid Mary’ but don’t know any real detail about the real woman. This sounds like a fascinating read, glad you enjoyed it

Oh this book looks *awesome*! I love historic fiction and history of public health and Typhoid Mary is just an intriguing person. Thanks for the review!

Oh, this is one that I didn’t know existed, and now I must have now! I know so little about Typhoid Mary, and that needs to change. Happily, this book seems to have all the information that I crave, and it is all done in a historical fiction setting, which I love! Thanks for the great review and for sharing this one. I smell a shopping trip very soon. Like now!

Even though I’m not a historical fiction fan I think I’d like this one too.

I know the basics but always wondered how it went on for so long, I presume her own family caught it prior to her job or something. A difficult position to be in, especially, no doubt, for a woman at that time. It sounds an informative book.
