Book Review of The Heretic's Daughter

The Heretic's Daughter

Helpful Score: 2


Kathleen Kent does and excellent job of taking this period of our "ancient history" and giving it a beating heart. Following the Carrier family from their daily lives through the harassment, accusations of witchcraft, arrests and imprisonment and culminating with the aftermath of this shameful event. I couldn't put this book down; it wasn't a leisurely stroll through the pages, but a race to see how it ended.
