The Daughters of Salem : How we sent our children to their deaths - | Thomas Gilbert

1 post | 2 read | 2 to read

Colonial Massachusets, early 1690's. When a young girl in a Puritan town rejects a farmer boy's gift and instead slips out into the forest to dance with a young man from the Abenaki tribe, it sets off a chain of events resulting in one of the worst cases of mass hysteria in U.S. history, as neighbor turns against neighbor and friends accuse friends of the most terrible things. A fictional re-imagining of the Salem Witch Trials, in which gender politics, religion, xenophobia, innocent games of fortunetelling, and one man's sinful indiscretion are all factors that lead to the deadly witch hunt.

The Daughters of Salem : How we sent our children to their deaths - | Thomas Gilbert

so-so

I love anything witch-related so I was excited for this ARC and decided to dive right in. Not too thrilled with the gritty illustrations which tended to be a little too violent and gory for my taste, at least given the subject of the story. Wasn't really feeling the tone and text. And, just a nit-picky thing: they used the word "period" rather than "menstruation" which I just don't think fits into the time period/setting.
