Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks

Love, Plague and Righteous Error

Stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish Year of Wonders, and want to say thanks to Geraldine Brooks for a book I enjoyed thoroughly. Her wonderful novel, based on the true story of the village of Eyam in Derbyshire, during a plague outbreak in 1666, kept me company for a week at a time when I really needed something engaging to end the day with. I am always grateful to books that cost me sleep, even if I can't afford the time (is everyone's life run by a palm pilot going beep these days!) to sink into as many as I would like, these days.
