beethebookdragon's review against another edition
5.0
To say something can be both haunting, illuminating, and enthralling is an exciting combination. That is precisely how I describe The Once & Future Witch Hunts by Alice Markham-Cantor. I equally loved the research and archival information rationales and the emotive story-telling in the historical fiction context of this dual point-of-view narrative. Even though I knew the inevitable was happening to Martha, given the historical record and knowledge of the Salem Witch Hunts, I could not escape how the story took hold of my subconscious. I understand the author's search for answers and to give voice to those whom the patriarchy has silenced.
This audiobook inspired me to do more profound research of my own, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn more about Martha's tale and Alice's journey to uncover it. Thank you to Alice Markham-Cantor, NetGalley, and Blackstone Publishing, Inc. This narrative was an incredible journey to witness.
