Title: Read this!
Review: I know, a book about the plague, how depressing. Well, yes, it is a bit of a downer. HOWEVER, it is well worth reading. It gives us a realistic look into what life was like during the plague, delving into the isolation of not just one household, but an entire whole village, cut off from the rest of civilization and left to deal with the epidemic on their own, so as not to spread their 'plague seeds' to other towns.This doomed community struggles to carry on with their lives, while most fall victim to the infestation. They still had to work, tend the farms, attend to birthing babies, while nursing the sick, burying the dead, and taking up the slack of the fallen victims.There was also contraversy over the who was more effective - a medicine woman with her herbs and chants,or a doctor with his leeches.This book is well worth the read, and it really makes you think about how precious life really is. Thank God for modern medicine!!!
