Well, seeing as how I didn't really know what to expect from this book, it was pretty good! I think it was very realistic and probable. This small town quarantines itself to prevent the Spanish flu from getting to them. This of course leads to issues within and without the community. Interesting plot, seamless perspective changes, lovely characters. Pretty good book, just not my cup of tea I guess. I never really got excited about it. Just a lot of small buildups to no climax.
