Mall Percival tells how the plague came to her Derbyshire village of Eyam in the year 1665, how the villagers determined to isolate themselves to prevent further spread of the disease, and how three-fourths of them died before the end of the following year.In the seventeenth-century village of Eyam, frightened villagers try to stop the plague from spreading by staying within the boundaries of the town--a pact that hampers young Mall's romance with Thomas Torre, a man from another village

Review:
"In 1665, a tailor in the village of Eyam received a parcel of cloth patterns from London, contaminated pieces that infected him with the plague. . .The author builds a novel that draws readers into the account related by Mall Percival, a young woman betrothed to Thomas Torre, who lives outside the village. . .[A] beautifully written, meaningful story." -Boxed review, "Publishers Weekly"
