Title: Who wrote the last 50 pages of this book? - Spoiler
Review: Year of Wonders is a terrific book! Up until the last 50 pages or so, that is. Then, it seems like another author took over entirely. Brooks spent most of the book creating a wonderful tale that I believe really captured the time and the people in it. Then, wham! Of course the rector turns out to be a fraud. Because where could you ever find a pastor, let alone a Christian, (Anna at the end) whose faith endures? And ending up in Algeria and marrying a Muslim? Way too much to swallow.
Is the review positive or negative?
