Rooting for Typhoid Mary?

What I truly appreciate about this book: Keane stays true to all the historical data known about Mary Mallon, commonly known as "Typhoid Mary," some of which appears less than flattering. Still, the author lets us see her Mary fully, sympathetically, and full of possibilities. The story is quite a unique tale, and I don't know when I became completely captivated. Well done and strongly recommended.
