Fourth time!! Loved it again, just a wonderful book, a wonderful trilogy. I particularly enjoyed how the author went full circle with the two time periods in a unique way.

Historical fiction at its best. This is number three of a trilogy and could be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but I strongly recommend that all three books be read in order and preferably close together, as I unfortunately have not done.
Oh how I have loved this series. I wish there were more, but now I need to read Chaucer!
I love it when a good book pushes me to research more.
Middle ages, plagues, and modern medicine. It's told in alternating chapters. The fourteenth century and the present, the experiences of a brilliant physician in his life during plague years and another modern physician who accidentally releases the same plague on the modern world, their adventures and survival.

Talk about an anti-climatic ending. Quite the disappointment. It almost seemed like Benson simply got tired of relating this tale.
