This was one of the worst books I've ever read. Everything about it was terrible. I certainly didn't expect a novel about the plague to be uplifting but this was disgusting and horrifying the entire way through. There were no redeeming qualities in any characters or even any uplifting scenes. The worst part was the language used and the way the characters spoke. It seemed like a strange combination of modern language mixed with colonial speech, neither of which is appropriate and the back and forth was disorienting. There is no way someone in 1666 would have said "I'm coming down with a cold"! The only reason I powered through the story is because it was a selection for my book club and I wanted to be able to participate in discussions. I would not recommend this book to anyone!
