We’ll enjoy a shared meal before discussing the book.November’s book is Years of Wonder by Geraldine Brooks. This is an historical fiction describing the plague in an isolated village in 1666. The protagonist, a housemaid named Anna Frith, is unlikely heroine and healer and it is through her eyes that the story is told.
