what if some of the women tried in the salem witch trials were really witches?
that's the premise of this book.
i've been curious about this book for awhile and picked it up when i found it in a used book store.
it was fun, a good summer read. it jumps back and forth from the present to the past, which got a little old. the past narrative was a little too cryptic and just seemed messy and confusing a lot of the time. the end brings it together, but it could have been more graceful in the telling throughout.
overall i really enjoyed it. i also appreciated that the author put up a suggested further reading list on her website for people interested in more scholastic reading on the time period and the salem witch trials.
