Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague

Set in a remote 17th-century English village, the story is inspired by the true events of Eyam, which chose to quarantine itself to contain the plague after an infected bolt of cloth arrives from London. The novel follows Anna Frith, a young housemaid, who emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer during the fateful year of 1666. As disease and death ravage every household, the community descends into fear, superstition, and murderous witch-hunting. Through Anna's eyes, the book chronicles her struggle to confront the disintegration of her village and to find strength and renewal amid profound loss, transforming a year of catastrophe into an *annus mirabilis*, a 'year of wonders'.
