Foreign Correspondence BROOKS, GERALDINE
Australia Transworld Publishers (Division of Random House Australia) 1999 186359132X / 9781863591324
Good , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Born in Sydney's western suburbs in the 50s, Geraldine Brooks longs to discover the vivid places where she believes history and culture are made. Penpals from the Middle East, France and America offer her the window she craves on life beyond Australia's isolated backyard. Twenty years later, and worlds away from her sheltered girlhood, Brooks is an award-winning foreign correspondent covering wars and famines. Still intrigued by the foreign correspondents of her girlhood, she embarks on a human treasure hunt. This is an intimate, moving and often humorous memoir of growing up in Australia in the 60s that speaks directly to the heart of everyone who ever yearned to become a citizen of the world.

Year of Wonders BROOKS, GERALDINE
United Kingdom HarperCollins Publishers 2002 184115458X / 9781841154589 Paperback
Good , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'March' and 'People of the Book'. A young woman's struggle to save her family and her soul during the extraordinary year of 1666, when plague suddenly struck a small Derbyshire village. In 1666, plague swept through London, driving the King and his court to Oxford, and Samuel Pepys to Greenwich, in an attempt to escape contagion. The north of England remained untouched until, in a small community of leadminers and hill farmers, a bolt of cloth arrived from the capital. The tailor who cut the cloth had no way of knowing that the damp fabric carried with it bubonic infection. So begins the Year of Wonders, in which a Pennine village of 350 souls confronts a scourge beyond remedy or understanding. Desperate, the villagers turn to sorcery, herb lore, and murderous witch-hunting. Then, led by a young and charismatic preacher, they elect to isolate themselves in a fatal quarantine. The story is told through the eyes of Anna Frith who, at only 18, must contend with the death of her family, the disintegration of her society, and the lure of a dangerous and illicit attraction.
Geraldine Brooks's novel explores love and learning, fear and fanaticism, and the struggle of 17th century science and religion to deal with a seemingly diabolical pestilence. 'Year of Wonders' is also an eloquent memorial to the real-life Derbyshire villagers who chose to suffer alone during England's last great plague.
