Year of Wonders is about so much more than battling the sickness of the plague in a small village that quarantined to keep it from spreading outside its walls. It's about how it affected the people psychologically, how it caused them to turn on each other, and also brought moments of wonder.

This took such a wild left turn at the end that I kind of forgot everything I was going to say about it. It felt like for most of the book (well-written) trauma porn about the plague and how men make everything harder for women, and then there was just...that last 25%! Huh!
