I would highly recommend this book. I love when I hardly even realize that I am learning, but I found that I did indeed leave this novel with new understanding of the The Plague. It was a calm, easily paced read that gradually picked up pace until a beautiful and haunting revelation on the true nature of our characters. I found the people authentic and, while not overly dramatic, still riddled with secrets and darkness that teaches the reader that one can never accurately evaluate another's life from the outside.
"As I rode that morning, smelling the scent of hoof-crushed heather, feeling the wind needle my face until it tingled, I understood that where Michael Mompellion had been broken by our shared ordeal, in equal measure I had been tempered and made strong."
