ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Great Believers” by Rebecca Makkai explores the emotional and social impact of the AIDS epidemic in 1980s Chicago, focusing on Yale Tishman, a curator in the art world, and his close-knit group of friends. As the crisis unfolds, they face loss, fear, and the complexities of love and identity. The novel alternates between the 1985 timeline and 2015, following Fiona, Nico's sister, as she reflects on the past while navigating personal challenges. Themes of grief, friendship, survival, and the legacy of the AIDS crisis are explored through deeply emotional and interconnected characters.
