The Village Healer's Book of Cures
The Village Healer's Book of Cures | Jennifer Sherman Roberts
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
In seventeenth-century England, a female healer enflames the fury of a witchfinder in this propulsive novel about murder, revenge, and the dangerous power of knowledge. Mary Fawcett refines the healing recipes she's inherited from generations of Fawcett women before her--an uncanny and moral calling to empathize with the sick. When witchfinder Matthew Hopkins arrives in her small village, stoking the fires of hate, he sees not healing but the devil at work. Mary's benevolent skills have now cast her and her young brother under suspicion of witchery. Soon, the husband of one of Mary's patients is found murdered, his body carved with strange symbols. For Hopkins, it's further evidence of dark arts. When the whispering village turns against her, Mary dares to trust a stranger: an enigmatic alchemist, scarred body and soul, who knows the dead man's secrets. As Hopkins's fervor escalates, Mary must outsmart the devil himself to save her life and the lives of those she loves. Unfolding the true potential of her gifts could make Mary a more empowered adversary than a witchfinder ever feared.

2. Tagged! 3 words to describe this book: Witchfinder, Healer, England. This book is on Kindle Unlimited. I don‘t know what to think about this book. I don‘t know if I like the writing style but it‘s giving me something to read. If I can‘t get into it then I‘ll DNF it.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
