Picked this up after seeing a doco on PBS about the "Plague Village", Eyam. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. It was a quick read and overall, I enjoyed the story. My only complaint is the ending didn't satisfy me - it just seemed out of character which is why this is only 4 stars, not five. However, I did enjoy the fictionalised account of the villagers' experiences of the year in quarantine.
Edited to add that I had the opportunity to visit Eyam in November 2005. I've re-read this book now and appreciated it even more having been there.
