Year of Wonders (~)

I've finished another library ebook: Year of Wonders: a Novel of the Plague by Geraldine Brooks. It was actually quite an interesting read. As usual, it's a historical fiction, so I learned a lot about the time of the Plague in a small village. I actually found it more interesting to read than most historical fiction I read, mostly because it's not based off of a real person's life, but rather a fictional character following real life events.

This novel follows a year in the life of Anna Frith. A woman living in a town that gets ravaged by the plague. She becomes an medicine woman of sorts, working with the reverend's wife trying to sooth those who have the plague and attempting to stop the spread of the plague. By the end of the novel she is a good friend of the reverend's wife, who ends up getting killed. She then has to move on to another place to escape from a murderous rich man. I know the end sounds kinda over the top, but honestly, it's not, I just didn't have any other way of explaining it, other than that way, without giving away too much information.

So there you go! I am now going to move onward to the Hunger Games (it's lent to me by my friend S., so I am going to attempt to read this one quickly also...) Until next time, Happy reading!
