What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?
A single-minded young woman in Renaissance Florence uses her charm and cunning to pursue early science in a world controlled by men and filled with alchemy and superstition, religious dogma, and political treachery – including within her own family. Her cause is curing malaria, and her main tool is the herb artemisia – medicine still used today.
