Summary "Cherry & Violet: A Tale of the Great Plague" by Anne Manning is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous times of the Great Plague and the English Civil War, revolving around the lives of two central characters, Cherry and her childhood companion, Violet. The book explores themes of love, resilience, and the impact of historical events on personal lives. At the start of the tale, the narrator, Cherry, reflects on her childhood reminiscences, offering a glimpse into her family's life on London Bridge in the early 17th century. The opening chapters introduce key family members, including her father, a hairdresser, and her mother, as well as her cousin Mark, who harbors feelings for Violet. The narrative also touches upon significant events such as a devastating fire on the bridge and the experience of a double tide, foreshadowing the upheaval that will accompany the plague. The relationships among Cherry, Mark, and Violet begin to develop as personal feelings intertwine with the historical context, setting the stage for future conflict and emotional turmoil.
