Year of Wonders

This book is probably one of the better books I've picked up in a while. It takes place during the Bubonic Plague outbreak of 1665-1666 and centres around a young peasant woman in a small, isolated village.

It's pretty much as you imagine it, i.e. lots of death and pestilence, plus pus. The end was a bit bizarre and seemed to be disconnected from the rest, but overall enjoyable and seemed that it could be a likely representation of life during the plague.

Now on to fluffier finds...

Overall, 4 horsemen out of 5 (I made up a new horseman - Pus).
