«Year of Wonders» is the historical novel by Geraldine Brooks, published by HarperPerennial in paperback (336 pages, in English).
In 1666, the plague reaches Eyam, a mining village in Derbyshire. Anna Frith, an eighteen-year-old servant, watches her family die and her community fall apart, as witchcraft and witch-hunting spread. Guided by a young preacher, the villagers choose to isolate themselves in quarantine; there Anna discovers unexpected strength and a forbidden love.
The novel is inspired by the real isolation of the village of Eyam during the plague of 1666 and won the Alex Award from the American Library Association in 2002.
For readers of historical fiction and book clubs, especially those seeking stories about epidemics and seventeenth-century England.
Geraldine Brooks is an Australian-American journalist and novelist. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 2005 novel March.
