Hello! In this weeks episode, I am Joined by Author Gigi Berardi to discuss her most recent release, the Historical Fiction "Bianca's Cure".

"Bianca's Cure" fictionalizes a search for a cure for malaria in the country where the disease was named ("bad air" in Italian), depicting the main character's struggles against prevailing medical beliefs. It draws from the author's real and meticulous research, her work spanning science and her personal experience living and teaching in Florence."
