You would think that "A Novel of the Plague" (subtitle) would be too depressing to read, but I did not find that to be the case. I read this book almost non-stop - I was fascinated by the characters, the realistic details of life during 1666 in a small rural English village, what they knew (and didn't know) about medicine, indeed, everything about this book. Highly recommended!
