Work of fiction based on the true story of the villagers of Eyam, Derbyshire England who volunteer to quarantine themselves when they find out their village is infected with plague in1666. Well written and engaging. I felt their hopes, theri suffering and their despair and what it cost in lives to protect others from the same fate. How can a year of plague become "A YEAR OF WONDERS". Read the book.
