The Black Death as you'll never forget it. Absolutely engrossing narrative non-fiction about The Great Mortality (or Black Death) that pulls real quotes from preserved documents and follows the strains of the devastating plague all over the map, stopping along the way to visit every little hamlet, seaport, village and city to examine the trials of the human spirit and worst case moments. Let Mr Kelly be your guide to a fascinating topic and don't be shy come closer as there is no shame reading what you find interesting and this book satisfies all curiosities. Admittedly, there are a few oddly placed tangents (that seem part of another work altogether) but overall, in the beginning this work explains the main believed reasons The Great Mortality took over all and the final chapters contain modern diseases that could repeat history. If you love medical/science centered books, aren't squeamish (this narrative contains graphic descriptions, so fair warning to the gentle reader) and are ready to learn, then you found the right book. *Non-Fiction purchased at Library Book Fair -EGP/January 2019 Comments are closed.
