Year of Wonders by Alice Hoffmann

Fantastic is the word for Year of Wonders.  Our book group has been accused of picking books about strong women and we seem to have done it again.  If you think you are about to read a book about the plague you aren't even close.  This book is about two very strong women.
When you start to read you will be drawn in by the very historically correct tale of one town's hardships during the great London plague of 1665.  The extent of their hardships not only because of the times but the disease that spreads through their town will astound you.  How could the do so much with so little.  It will really make you appreciate your life.
