At the Sign of the Sugared Plum

Hannah has travelled from a small village to London to help her older sister with her sweet shop when the plague hits. It is 1665 and as the epidemic increases travel, especially for those not judged as ‘quality’, have their travel restricted. As friends and acquaintances succumb to the plague Hannah and her sister struggle to help those around them and protect themselves. An accurate representation of 17th century London’s mores and values with emphasis on people helping each other cope.
