Why read it?
1 author picked Salt of the Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This wonderfully researched and detailed historical novel took me to a time, place, and medical issue about which I knew nothing. Whilst the medical condition is the core conflict in the book, there is nothing dry about the plot, which features a young protagonist filled with the courage of her convictions, who struggles to improve life in a remote and backward place, despite hardships and those who disbelieve in her mission. Bonus: this author also writes fast-paced thrillers which are impossible to put down!
