By Geraldine Brooks
308 pages
Another beautiful historical fiction masterpiece from
Geraldine Brooks. Set in 1666, it tells
the tale of Anna Frith, a young woman confronting death, disease, religion,
superstition and the many shades of human nature as the Plague overtakes her
village. Masterfully written, and based on the real
village of Eyam in England’s Derbyshire, a community who made the decision to
quarantine the entire town rather than risk spreading the plague to other
communities.
