This was an excellent book about the Salem Witch Trials in the 1690's. It is raw and brutal but helped me understand how such atrocities could be in our history, by the hand again, of religion. This was Kathleen Kent's first novel and fills in what happened to Martha Carrier "The Traitor's Wife" and children. I have to say I like "The Traitor's Wife" better, but then as her second novel, it is written better. It really doesn't matter which order you read them in tho.
