Title: A book of wonders!
Review: The cover caught my attention at the aiport when I noticed the much smaller subtitle "A Novel of the Plague". What I discovered was a true treasure. Anna lives life in a small relatively isolated village in England during the infamous plague year of 1666. The novel is voiced from her perspective as her village of 300 souls is wracked with not only the plague but the emotions, psychologies, and economics that traveled hand in hand with the dreaded disease. To look upon such a year of loss and devistation with anything but sorrow would be difficult. But Anna goes even further to find it a year of discovery, learning and growth. This book is sad in places, a bit gory in some places, but inspiring throughout. The author is to be commended for this fine piece of writing and it is a book I highly recommend!
