Geraldine Brooks, Year of Wonders. Summary from Wikipedia:
The novel is written from the point of view of Anna Frith, a housemaid who describes what she lives through when the plague hits her village. It is based on the history of the small Derbyshire village of Eyam, which, when beset upon by the plague in 1666, quarantines itself to prevent the disease from spreading further. The Plague that hit Eyam is similar to the Black Plague in Europe.
