Hour of the Witch

I didn't expect this. Not at all. And the again, I've read my fair share of medieval historical fiction that I could've anticipated this. What blindsided me though is the fact that as late as the 17th century superstitions and Prejudice were so rampant. It really made me ponder women's lot in life today and consider myself lucky for living in ‘enlightened' times. Much is still to be done, but we've come a long way. The matter of the divorce, domestic violence and how women were treated in a court of law really drove this point home. Lovely way of better understanding other eras. Prepare for a good but reflective read.
