"Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks follows the story of a small 17th-century English village that is struck by the bubonic plague. The narrative centers on Anna Frith, a young widow who emerges as a reluctant leader amidst the chaos and suffering. As the plague ravages the community, Anna grapples with loss, grief, and the moral complexities of survival. The novel explores themes of resilience, faith, and the strength of the human spirit when faced with overwhelming adversity. Set against the backdrop of a tragic historical event, it highlights the profound impact of love and loss in a time of despair. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
