Wickett's Remedy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wickett's Remedy ''Wickett's Remedy'' is a 2005 historical novel by Myla Goldberg, about the 1918 influenza epidemic. It was published by Doubleday. The novel makes heavy use of annotations, marginalia, and false documents to support its premise; Goldberg has stated that Vladimir Nabokov's ''Pale Fire'' was a major influence on her in this respect. ==Plot== In 1918 Boston, Lydia Kilkenny is a sales clerk who marries medical student Henry Wickett. When Henry, and most of her relatives, die of the "Spanish flu", Lydia becomes a nurse, and works to help find a cure by assisting in medical experiments on convicted Navy deserters. She also continues to sell Henry's patent medicine (the Remedy of the title) until Henry's business partner repackages it as a soft drink.
