description
Mois de juin de l'an 1348 : une épidémie monstrueuse s'abat sur le Dorset et décime peu à peu les habitants. Nobles et serfs meurent par milliers dans d'atroces souffrances. Quand la pestilence frappe Develish, Lady Anne a l'audace de nommer un esclave comme régisseur. Ensemble, ils décident de mettre le domaine en quarantaine pour le protéger. Bientôt, les stocks de vivres s'amenuisent et des tensions montent car l'isolement s'éternise. Les villageois craignent pour leur sécurité lorsqu'un événement terrible menace le fragile équilibre. Les gens de Develish sont en vie, mais pour combien de temps encore ? Et que découvriront-ils quand le temps sera venu pour eux de passer les douves ? Quand la grande dame du roman noir anglo-saxon s'attaque à la saga historique, elle nous offre le plus captivant et haletant des page-turners.

When the Black Death enters England through the port of Melcombe in Dorseteshire in June 1348, no one knows what manner of sickness it is or how it spreads and kills so quickly. The Church cites God as the cause, and religious fear grips the people as they come to believe that the plague is a punishment for wickedness. But Lady Anne of Develish has her own ideas. Educated by nuns, Anne is a rarity among women, being both literate and knowledgeable. With her brutal husband absent from Develish when news of this pestilence reaches her, she takes the decision to look for more sensible ways to protect her people than daily confessions of sin. Well-versed in the importance of isolating the sick from the well, she withdraws her people inside the moat that surrounds her manor house and refuses entry even to her husband. She makes an enemy of her daughter and her husband's steward by doing so, but her resolve is strengthened by the support of her leading serfs ... until food stocks run low and the nerves of all are tested by continued confinement and ignorance of what is happening in the world outside. The people of Develish are alive. But for how long? And what will they discover when the time comes for them to cross the moat?
