Writer’s Voice with Francesca Rheannon
We talk with Nina Burleigh about Trump’s failure on Covid and what that says about our public health system— and capitalism. Her book is Virus: Vaccinations, the CDC, and The Hijacking Of America’s Response To The Pandemic.
Then, we shift gears to consider a remarkable debut novel by Celia Jeffries, Blue Desert. It’s about freedom and limits, secrets — and what happens when an upper-class British teenager falls in love with the chieftain of a Tuareg tribe in Morocco in the early years of the 20th century.
