At the Sign of the Sugared Plum

(4) 4-6 After moving to London to help her sister, Hannah runs into an old friend, falls for the apothecary's apprentice, and generally enjoys city life until the bubonic plague hits. Hannah is an engaging character, and the details of life in 1665 London are authentic. The novel's ending, in which Hannah and her sister escape London in disguise to rescue an orphaned infant, seems unfinished. Recipes. Glos.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
