I just finished this book and can't get it out of my mind. The author's style is my cup of tea. Her text is descriptive, but not overly so, she has researched the time period (1665-1666) in England very well, and her characters are outstanding, especially the protagonist, Anna. The story is so real that you find yourself grieving with all of the people who lost loved ones to this monstrous epidemic. I was truly mesmerized by the Protestant minister who was at the heart of the story. I felt a great deal of compassion for him, but a certain anger toward him, too. But in the end we come to understand him and realize that, like everyone else, he is a product of the times and his own deeply held beliefs.
My only problem with this book is the fantasy ending. I'd be interested in knowing how others feel about it.
