Description
The Manningtree Witches by A. K. Blakemore In 1643, England is torn apart by war and Puritanical fervour. In the small village of Manningtree, the women are left to their own devices, struggling to survive in a community depleted of men. It is here that Rebecca West, a young woman with a fierce spirit, finds herself at the margins of society, longing for a life beyond her drudgery. When Matthew Hopkins, a mysterious and pious figure, arrives in the village, the questions about the women's lives take on a sinister edge. As a child falls ill with a fever, the villagers begin to suspect that the women are involved in dark magic. The Manningtree Witches plunges its readers into the fever and menace of the English witch trials, where suspicion, mistrust, and betrayal ran amok. A visceral and thrilling tale, this book announces a bold new talent, shedding light on a dark period in English history.
