ReplyDeleteTHE AFFLICTED GIRLS A Novel of Salem by Suzy Witten presents a startling new theory of the Salem Village witch hunt which is certain to put this 300 year old unsettled mystery to rest. Part parable, part star-crossed romance, and part supernatural venture, this is an intuitive human history--and inhuman--spun with a modern twist. Centering her story on Salem Village and its inhabitants, exploring their dark household corners as if she is solving a crime, the author adeptly details how the disintegration occurred while spinning familiar facts in new directions, with the mysterious "afflictions" finally explained.
