The Miraculous Fever-Tree by Fiammetta Rocco
A rich and wonderful history of quinine the cure for malaria.'This engrossing, beautifully crafted history is a parable for our times, I believe, underscoring the foolishness of men, with some rare exceptions, and the munificence of Nature' Adrian Hartley, Spectator
'Absorbing and superbly researched' Miranda Seymour, Sunday Times
'A fascinating account of quinine's key role in the making of the modern worldMany have tried to tell this tale, and it is a testament to Rocco's flair and sheer hard work that she has found new things to say' Gail Vines, Independent
'Fiammetta Rocco's wonderfully elegant book, drawing on previously undiscovered documents, attacks its subject as hungrily as a mosquito detecting its next meal' Philip Blackmore, Catholic Herald
Fiammetta Rocco is the literary editor of the Economist.
