A fascinating, atmospheric, and gripping historical fiction about The Witches of Warboys trial. It's the fascinating portrait of an era and of the atmosphere around a the trials.
It starts with voices and, as it often happened, the accused is an old woman who dabbles in herbs and healing.
The story is told by Martha, an interesting character that knew all the people involved.
The historical background is well researched and vivid, it's like reading a real diary.
The characters are fleshed out and it's interesting to read about the mix of paranoia and power play.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
