it was amazing
Read in September, 2014
It's always a pleasure to read a novel as good and entertaining as "Years of Wonder." Of course, I love historical fiction, and I was doing research on the Plague that hit England during the reign of Edward III, so it was almost a must read for me. What I did read though was an outstanding novel centered around the plague that struck England centuries later and the story of a town that isolated itself to better protect its neighbors. Such selflessness came from the leadership of the town's minister, and that brings about the story of the romance that slowly builds between the book's narrator and him. Remember, I have seen the book in two or three years, and I'm writing this impromptu, but it's such a good book that you might forget the names after several years, but the story will linger with you, the suffering of the people, the suffering of the narrator, and the wonderful ending which gives hope for mankind and our future. It's a beautiful book. Read it if you want to be uplifted.
