Year of Wonders by Geraldine BrooksMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Geraldine Brooks is an author with many wonderful books to her credit. IN Year of Wonders, a tailor brings the plague to a village in Derbyshire, England in the sixteen hundreds. The town decides to isolate itself to prevent the spread of the disease. The story is about the humanity they find or do not find in each other as they face the disaster. Though it sounds distressing and depressing, it is not. It is a story of courage and strength based on an actual village.
Also consider People of the Book by Brooks, another story based on history. People of the Book The Sarajevo Haggadah had a chaotic journey through many generations. This is the story of that book and the many people who were touched by it.
Also by Brooks, is the story of Mr. March, father to the March sisters of Little Women. A Pulizer prizer winner.March
