The Cure

184 pp. April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-15-201827-1 $$16.00
(2) YA In the year 2407, Gemm elects "the cure" to rid him of his aberrant love of music. The Elders transport him to Past Time, where Gemm becomes a young Jewish musician in 1348 Strasbourg, as Jews become scapegoats for the plague sweeping through Europe. The derivative dystopian frame is unnecessary; read this book for the compelling interior tale of a little-known true horror of the Middle Ages.
