Set in the Derbyshire village of Eyam during the Great Plague of 1666, this historical novel follows eighteen-year-old Anna Frith as the villagers choose to isolate themselves in a fateful quarantine.

As illness tears through the community, Anna confronts personal loss, fear, fanaticism and forbidden love while older beliefs collide with the emerging science and religious tensions of the seventeenth century.
