This is a wonderful book, well written and an interesting subject but more than that it tells the story supposed to be based on a true story about what happens when a bolt of cloth from a traveling merchant turns out to be contaminated with the plague and the village caught up in the plague manage to survive for the year it takes for it to finally pass. The vicar of the village convinces the town to go into self imposed quarantine, the story itself is told through the eyes of the vicar's maid. If you like historical fiction, you'll love this, this is one of the best books I've ever read. I would also recommend "People of the Book" written by the same author.
