The Vizard Mask by Diana Norman
A Novel of the Plague
Set against the backdrop of 17th-century England, this historical novel follows the journey of Penitence Hurd, a young Puritan woman who flees the plague-ridden streets of London for the vibrant, yet morally complex, world of Restoration England. As she navigates the opulent and often scandalous society, she adopts a new identity, donning the titular vizard mask to conceal her past. Through her eyes, readers witness the stark contrasts between the rigid Puritanical values she was raised with and the hedonistic allure of the court, as she grapples with her own beliefs, desires, and the tumultuous events of the era.
