"[A] viscerally detailed tale....Though the historical detail is absorbing, it is the story of Anna...that is Brooks' most wondrous touch."
Megan Harlan, Entertainment Weekly, 08/10/2001
Review:"Brooks is at her best in depicting [the rhythms of life in the plague village]. Her descriptions of village life, the conditions of the sick and the dying, and the emotional struggles of day-to-day existence in plague time are riveting without being tawdry. Her prose is never hurried and remains utterly absorbing....[A]ll historical novelists are guilty of a certain amount of anachronistic thinking, and it is often hard to resist the urge to draw characters who transcend the limitations of their times. Nevertheless, this novel would have been much more satisfying if Brooks had shown how Anna struggled to understand the horrors around her as a 17th-century villager, ignorance, superstition and all. But this is, perhaps, nitpicking in an otherwise remarkably strong novel that is poignant, sophisticated and utterly absorbing."
David Liss, Washington Post Book World, 08/12/2001

Book Description: Penguin Audiobooks. CD-Audio. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, Geraldine Brooks, Geraldine Brooks, Year of Wonders is historical fiction of the highest order--absolutely convincing in its period detail, filled with full-blooded characters who arouse one's deepest empathy, and driven by a story of striking immediacy. In 1665, the north of England remains untouched by the plague that is ravaging London. Then, in a small, close-knit community of lead miners and hill farmers, a bolt of cloth has no way of knowing that the damp fabric carries within its folds the deadly bubonic infection. Confronted with a scourge beyond remedy or understanding, the villagers turn in desperation to sorcery, herb lore, and murderous witch hunting--to no effect. Finally, led by a young and charismatic preacher, they elect to isolate themselves in a quarantine that may only deepen the tragedy. Told through the eyes of hard-working, inquisitive Anna Firth, who at age 18 must contend with the loss of her family and the disintegration of her community, Year of Wonders explores love and learning, fear and fanaticism, and the struggle of science and religion to interpret the world on the cusp of the modern era.
