Year of Wonders

I love books that stay with you after you've turned the last page. I'm not sure what compelled me to pick up a book about the Plague in 17th Century England (not a laugh riot), but I can't stop thinking about it. While it could have been totally depressing, it's actually about feeling empowered and hopeful and the main character's transformation is what stayed with me. It also had a wonderful twist that exposed the "perfect" relationship as not really perfect at all.

Things to think about on so many levels. I used to be in a book club and this book makes me really wish that I still were. I want to talk about it!
