An unexpected heroine and healer called Anna Frith appears as the plague travels from London to a remote town via an infected bolt of fabric.
We follow the events of the terrible year 1666 through Anna's eyes as she and her fellow peasants deal with the growth of superstition and sickness.
Anna must to summon the courage to face the breakdown of her society and the allure of unapproved love as death creeps into every home and the people switch from praying to homicidal witch-hunting.
What was once a year of disaster turns into annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders," as she fights to live and develop.
A meticulously researched depiction of a unique historical period, Year of Wonders is based on the actual tale of the English hill community of Eyam.
