This book was a quick read but packs quite a punch in those pages. It tells the story of a peasant girl in England who has had nothing but trials and tribulations in her life. She is an unlikely hero who, despite losing everything, becomes stronger than anyone around her. Great story and worthwile read. Not for the faint of heart however. It does contain some pretty graphic descriptions of plague symptoms and events, but the unflinching descriptions just add to the reality of this story.
