This is the diary of Alice who lives in London with her Aunt Nell and father during the time of the Great Plague. Alice has a fairly comfortable life. Her father works for the Navy and the family has a servant named Maggie. Things change when the Plague arrives and Alice must care for her Aunt Nell. Alice wonders if life will even return to normal. This is an interesting diary. It's a story of family, sacrifice, and personal growth. I think the author does a good job of creating interest in Alice's life and helping the reader learn more about this point in history. This story would appeal to those who enjoy historical fiction.
