C'est comme une claque qui nous rappelle comment les femmes ont été traitées et le sont encore aujourd'hui parfois, qui rappelle la cruauté des hommes. J'ai beaucoup plus été touchée par les faits en eux-mêmes que par la plume ou le personnage principal, et puis certains passages sur la vie de Entgen étaient plus longs. C'est la raison pour laquelle ça n'est pas un coup de coeur. Mais ce roman m'a retourné l'estomac tant il est brutal et violent. J'ai mal pour toutes ces femmes qui ont été torturées et/ou brûlées pour avoir osé exister.

I found it very interesting to read a historical fiction based on the true story of a women condemned of witchcraft in the Netherlands. The way the story was told, in reminiscences from the dungeon during her imprisonment was not very effective, as these were always short snippets.. would have preferred a different style, but the narration was nice and I did enjoy the overall story arc.

Mooie historische roman. Een waargebeurd verhaal, maar juist zo mooi door het inkleuren van de wereld eromheen, en de geschiedenis van de hoofdpersoon. Je wordt meegenomen in de wereld van toen, in al zijn schokkende aspecten. Ondanks de zware onderwerpen leest het boek makkelijk weg.
