Waiting On Wednesday

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases


A Fierce Radiance

Lauren Belfer

Publishing Date: June 15, 2010

"The reader will quickly be immersed in this novel built around the development of penicillin during World War II. Lauren Belfer not only creates great plot and characters but has the skill to inform in the best tradition of historical fiction. Her ability to replicate the anxiety and tension of the home front resonates, as does her portrayal of a world where disease and death were far more capricious than today."

Loved the cover, and it just happens I caught Discovery's feature on 100 greatest discoveries yesterday. Penicillin happens to be in the top 10 list. :-)
