Requests:  0 Summary:  This gripping historical novel is based on the true story of Eyam, the "Plague Village," in the rugged mountain spine of England. In 1666, a tainted bolt of cloth from London carries bubonic infection to this isolated settlement of shepherds and lead miners. A visionary young preacher convinces the villagers to seal themselves off in a deadly quarantine to prevent the spread of disease. The story is told through the eyes of eighteen-year-old Anna Frith, the vicar's maid, as she confronts the loss of her family, the disintegration of her community, and the lure of a dangerous and illicit love. As the death toll rises and people turn from prayers and herbal cures to sorcery and murderous witch-hunting, Anna emerges as an unlikely and courageous heroine in the village's desperate fight to save itself.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks   Checked out 06/27/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Fiction Brooks Historical Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
