What a wonderfully written story. Geraldine Brooks is fantastic author. I really enjoyed the writing and am amazed at how lovely a story about the Plague can be portrayed. The heroin was believable and I found myself rooting for her and what she loved. And the ending 'fit' the story nicely. On the other hand, the Epilog and the Afterward both were disappointing to me. I wish I hadn't read them . . . they changed the way the ending 'fit' making it a mismatch for me.
