Categorization is odious. There is tremendous overlap among genres. These pigeonholes are offered only as a convenience.

Although March, based on the life of Louisa May Alcott's father, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, Year of Wonders is a more successful and remarkable novel. Set in an English village that quarantined itself during the plague of 1666, it inhabits that time with ease and becomes emotionally powerful.
