A PLAGUE - A VILLAGE - A LOCKDOWN 1665, Eyam, Derbyshire. 'Here I
have set down all that I know of the Plague' It is 1665 and Mall
Percival is a shepherd girl living in a Derbyshire village. She
tends her flock, spends time with her best friend and teaches her
young suitor to read. But one day a parcel of patterns, meant for a
new dress for the pastor's wife, wings its way from London. The
parcel carries an infection that spreads with horrifying speed.
Herbal teas and open windows are the only defence against the
sickness. Yet the villagers make a brave and selfless decision: to
isolate themselves from the rest of the country. It is a lockdown
that saves the neighbouring towns, but at heart-breaking cost to
Mall's world. Based on the true events of the village of Eyam, this
is the story of a courageous sacrifice that saved Derbyshire and
beyond from a deadly virus. *SHORTLISTED FOR THE WHITBREAD PRIZE*
'A pocket masterpiece' Guardian Readers love A Parcel of Patterns
'I couldn't put it down' 'Brought me to tears too many times to
count' 'If you think social distancing is hard in the Coronavirus
pandemic, read this wonderful novel based on the true story of the
village of Eyam'
