In 1665, the Bubonic Plague came to Eyam, England, where the local vicar led the villagers in quarantining themselves, a response that had not been common before that event.

Told from the point of view of Anna Frith, servant to the vicar, this tale is inspired by the real town that has been commemorated as Plague Village. The Year of Wonders is currently available as an Overdrive eBook and audiobook.
