" This book is about the TB-cure camps in a fictional town called Tamarack Lake in the Adirondacks, about the patients, the new inventions (X-Ray), what they do to keep their minds engaged -- and what happens when war or disease causes people to become suspicious of other people, especially foreigners. When WWI starts, the thrust to ferret out "the enemy" could remind you of other times in our history, even up to "Homeland Security". The subject matter is something I didn't know about -- the characters are good -- and I really liked this book. "
