In this intimate history of the extraordinary Black Plague pandemic
that swept through the British Isles in 1665, Evelyn Lord focuses
on the plague's effects on smaller towns, where every death was a
singular blow affecting the entire community. Lord's fascinating
reconstruction of life during plague times presents the personal
experiences of a wide range of individuals, from historical
notables Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton to common folk who tilled
the land and ran the shops. She brings this dark era to vivid life
through stories of loss and survival from those who grieved, those
who fled, and those who hid to await their fate.
