ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks tells the story of a small English village, Eyam, during the plague of 1666. The narrative follows Anna Frith, a young widow, as she and her fellow villagers grapple with the devastation of the disease. The community makes the extraordinary decision to quarantine itself to prevent the plague from spreading, and this act of self-sacrifice forces the villagers to confront their own mortality and beliefs. The book explores themes of faith versus science, the strength of community, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming tragedy. The characters are faced with difficult choices that test their convictions, and they must find their own ways to cope with the terrible losses that they experience. Anna’s personal journey, from a simple housemaid to a woman of action and independence, forms the core of the story.
