Title: Plague Tales
Author: Ann Benson


I really enjoyed this book. It's a great story about 2 different people in 2 different times: a future time in London and a past time in the 14th century. It's about the Bubonic plague. Even the future London cannot combat the Plague with antibiotics!! I loved how Benson wrote about court life in London; her historical descriptions are vivid. She varied her chapters: one chapter was in the 14th century and the next in future times. Ann Benson has also written beading books.
