Year of Wonders - Geraldine Brooks


I just finished this book and I have to say it was really good and very interesting. It is about a village in the 1600s in England who shut themselves off from the world when the plague comes to their village. It is about the tiny village and the people that live there and what they have to do to survive. This actually happened back in the 1600s in a town called Eyam in Derbyshire. It is a historical fiction. It is from the perspective of 18-year-old Anna Firth a widow with two sons who works for the reverend and his wife as a maid. I really enjoyed the book - I couldn't put it down.
