The Novel Cure

12/19/2018

"Whatever your ailment, our prescriptions are simple: a novel (or two), to be read at regular intervals. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will simply offer solace, showing you that you are not alone. All will offer the temporary relief of your symptoms due to the power of literature to distract and transport."
- from The Novel Cure by Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin

NPHS Library is offering cures for whatever ails you. Check out The Novel Cure page to browse book recommendations or to suggest a book.
