3. "Geraldine Brooks, a journalistturnednovelist, based her book on a real town called Eyam, which, led by its vicar, resolved to quarantine itself no one in; no one out until the plague had done its worst an act of extraordinary altruism andvson."
4. "How Anna deals with the plague and its victims, and triumphs with her own kind of courage, is a moving story that Brooks tells beautifully, embedding it in the homely details of everyday life the food and clothes, the landscape and passing seasons."
5. "Brookss dialogue, perhaps out of a journalists desire to be historically accurate, sometimes dips into the laughably archaic does You ignorant slattern remind anybody else of Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtin on the original Saturday Night Live?"
6. "Yes, historical fiction tends to single out the misfits and pioneers in a particular place and time, not its typical citizens; yet in this case Brooks goes too far in making 17th Century women into modern ones."
