The story is told mainly from the pov of Martha, a maid in the Throckmorton house. We follow the family as not one daughter is afflicted by the fits so do the others. I couldn't help but think that the affictions of these young girls was very similar to what happened in Salem and the witch trials there.
I enjoyed the story. Firstly because of it being based on real events that I knew nothing about and secondly because it's witchy. I did find myself enjoying the story but did find at times however it was a little repetitive especially in the middle section. The final part 'The Trial' did make up for it and also included more about Alice and her story.
Overall an interesting book based on real events.… (més)
