A haunting tale of human resilience in the face of unrelieved horror, Camus' novel about a bubonic plague ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature.

I actually really enjoyed this! Perhaps it is because I read it post COVID and felt so many similarities to how people react when confined together in one place by an outbreak of an illness. For me it was interesting to compare and contrast this book with real life whilst noting the years between the writing of it and today.

I feel like this book has no plot, its mostly just an explanation of what happened during the plague each day. Nothing really of interest and there isn't really any character dynamic, they're all just flat and boring.
