Helpful Score: 1

*SPOILER ALERT* The narrator survives a year quarantined in a 17th century village in Central England that has been infected with the bubonic plague. The account is harrowing, as the people of the village become unhinged mentally as villagers die off first in groups, then one after the other. Mob rule begins to set in almost immediately after the first round of multiple fatalities from the plague. This is a very good read, but not a lighthearted one.
