Title: Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague
Author: Geraldine Brooks
Publisher: Penguin
Year: 2001
308 pages
Brooks has a beautiful grasp of description that's well-showcased here. I didn't find the last quarter as Hallmark-y as some other reviewers; a tad melodramatic, but ultimately well-rendered. Compare to Willis's Doomsday Book and Eifelheim for somewhat their similar content (plague) and tone.
