Plague Searchers: Flee quick, go far (Vol II)

The first months of London's Great Plague of 1665 give no hope of any improvement, only an ominous warning of worse to come. Those who can are fleeing the city. Those who can't - the poor, the old, and a dedicated few - must stay to face the growing danger. The ancient women of the parish of St Cyneswide and St Tibba, who have weathered the disappearance of one of their own, face further calls on their courage and resilience. The plot against the King simmers, supported by folk of fire and faith, dismissed by others as the work of fanatics. There are those who will stop at nothing and threaten the whole city. But the parish still finds solace in singing; small children play their joyous, sometimes fractious, street games; and young people find each other. Volume II continues this gripping tale with its friendships and feuds, songs and psalms, plots and betrayals.
