Book #20 of 2023. The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent.
This Sarah’s story of how she survived the Salem Witch Trials but her mother did not. A moving tale of early American life infected by fear, jealousy, bigotry and hatred.
Sarah, her mother and brothers were all accused of witchcraft by various neighbors and relatives. In this novel, Sarah shares her day-to-day life, inter-family relationships and various interactions with the people living around them. I really enjoyed this moving view of how hysteria can take hold of a community and ruin lives.
3/5
