Quarantine by Jim Crace

4.0

After the disappointment that was The Pesthouse, I was pleasantly surprised by Quarantine. Each character had defining qualities that made the novel move forward. I thought it was interesting that Jesus was featured in the story but not really the main character. See, normally the Son of God gets first billing. But the novel wasn’t about Him or His work. Very interesting. The story had a definite starting point and a definite ending, something that The Pesthouse didn’t have. Overall, it’s a pretty good read.
