From the award-winning author of The Language of Birds and The Crime Writer, a chilling tale of a witch-hunt
Alice Samuel might be old and sharp-tongued, but she"s no fool. Visiting her new neighbours in her Fenland village, she finds Squire Throckmorton"s family troubled and, she suspects, not as God-fearing as they seem. Yet when one of the daughters accuses her of witchcraft, Alice has no idea of the danger she is in or how quickly matters will escalate.
The Throckmortons" maid Martha, uneasy herself about strange goings-on in the household, is reluctant to believe that Alice is a witch. But as the entire village gets swept up in the frenzied persecution of one of their own, she struggles to find a voice . . .
