Description
In 1666, an isolated English village faces an unimaginable crisis when a deadly plague sweeps through its inhabitants. As the disease tightens its grip, the villagers make a radical decision: to seal themselves off from the outside world, a choice that tests their faith, their bonds, and their very survival. Through the eyes of Anna Frith, a young housemaid, we witness the unraveling of community and the desperate struggle for life amidst profound loss. This powerful novel, inspired by a true historical event, explores themes of faith, resilience, and the unexpected wonders that can emerge from the darkest of times.
