Hay pasajes que me he encontrado releyendo sólo para maravillarse con ellos de nuevo. 

En este momento lo que realmente se queda conmigo y que me encantó es lo fuertemente meta e intertextual es su narrativa, lo que la convierte en una novela de ficción histórica con ojos en el futuro (o el presente, pues Tituba está hablando con nosotras). Esto es hecho aún más evidente por el propio conocimiento de Tituba de que su nombre sólo es una nota al pie de los registros históricos de los juicios de Salem además del cameo de feminista blanca de Hester Prynne.

Notable como Condé se basó y jugó tanto con los cuentos orales antillanos como con la historia del Caribe para tejer un trasfondo para la historia de Tituba, y luego la transformación de la propia Tituba en una historia oral. 

Toca releer una vez haya digerido propiamente la experiencia.
