The Winter Sisters by Tim Westover
3.0
Thank you Netgalley, QW Publishers and Tim Westover for free e-ARC in return of my honest review.
Early 1800s in America was not a good time for a women to be a healer and play practical jokes on her own patients. Three of the Winter sisters has healing powers to some extent, Rebecca and Sarah know their herbs and potions, but the youngest possesses some enrgy which she is not sure how to use. In the midst of rabies, a new doctor comes to town by pastor's invitation. Little does he know that he is the new instrument in pastor's hand to drive the sisters (witches) out.
Quite interesting story. Female characters are truly exceptional. The doctor is a bit shallow to my taste and a bit undeveloped, though through him I could see the power and knowledge of the Winters sisters. She did not learn anything in medical school and knew way more than doctor who was accustomed only to draw blood and to provide some narcotics.
Overall, good but not remarkable.
