“Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks” is a heart-breaking tale based on true events that happened here in Eyam in 1666.💔
I first read it 25 years ago and was fascinated by the story of how the villagers lived through and survived the plague, but I never thought I would end up working here, sharing that story with you, our visitors!
It holds even more meaning now after the 2020 pandemic, as we went through some of the same things that the Eyam villagers did (social distancing, family groups)." Emma McBeath, Museum Manager.
