A review by kstephensreads
A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe

4.0

This book was fascinating to me, as we are still in the midst of the pandemic. There were so many social parallels that were striking to me, although the severity of the illness is quite different. The vivid accounts of suffering under the Black Plague will stay with me for a long time. My husband is probably glad I’m finished with it so I will stop talking about it all the time.
