The Black Death: A Personal History by John Hatcher

1.0

Interested idea for a book, a "docudrama" of a village awaiting, and then suffering, the bubonic plague... but the narrative is so weak as to render it unreadable. I rarely quit a book; I quit this one halfway through, when "exciting" things were happening in the storyline. In the hands of a more able fiction writer, this could have been a winner.
