Will Heywood and Susanna Thorn, the young Quaker lovers from No Shame, No Fear, resume their story, told in alternating voices and played out against the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. The book meanders down soap opera–like paths laid over historical events. Still, Susanna and Will are so essentially nice that readers will want to make sure they survive.
