Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague by Geraldine Brooks

3.0

The first three-quarters of this book were absolutely wonderful I adored them. But that last quarter was so out of place. It was like someone had killed the author and tried to finish the book off in a completely different genre. It just did not match. I adored the rest of the book though. I loved the way it was set up, I loved the individual characters and especially adored the reality that was served in it, not the ending of course, but in everything else. I was delighted to hear I was studying it next year and I am so happy that I had the experience of the first bit. The last bit though.... was just plain weird. Wrong. Incorrect. I don't hate it, it just didn't fit.
