Meer over het boek
Set in September 1664, the narrative unfolds as rumors of a plague's return in Holland circulate among neighbors, highlighting the lack of printed news and reliance on word of mouth. Despite initial dismissals of the threat, concern grows when two Frenchmen die of the plague in London, prompting a government investigation. The secrecy surrounding the situation contrasts with the urgency of the unfolding crisis, as officials seek to confirm the outbreak and prevent its spread. This historical context captures the tension and fear of a society grappling with disease.
