The Plague Charmer

I found "The Plague Charmer" by Karen Maitland a bit hard to get into but once I did then I found it to be a fascinating look at the Middle Ages, Black Death, and the superstitions small villages possibly had at that time. It was an amazing historical read with quite a few separate story lines that eventually match up for a fantastic ending. The medieval era is brought to life so well and the characters are very well developed so much so that I could vividly imagine them. Highly recommended for fans of suspenseful historical fiction. I received a copy of this book for free from the publishers (via Netgalley) in exchange for an honest review.
