Why read it?
1 author picked The Great Mortality as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Great Mortality was a key tool in my research for my book. John covered the Black Death in every country it devastated, such as England, Italy, and France. He touches on the effect the Black Death had on the church and the great lengths that were taken to protect the pope. He goes into morbid detail about the plague, and you get a real understanding of what these people went through. I can not recommend this book enough.
From Juliana's list on for those with a fascination for filth and torture.
