pickI listened to this on radio 4 after a friend mentioned it.
So gut wrenching and so important that Persephone Books have republished.
I can't believe she wrote it before WW2. But also terrifying that it was so clear to her the outcomes.
We need so desperately to learn from history 😔
so-soI liked it well enough, interesting premise. I guess it if a series, however, I most likely won't continue with it. There's at least 6 books and I ain't got time for all that.
Back in beautiful Bath Uk 🇬🇧 and yes 😆purchased a bagful of persephones from their wonderful bookshop one of which is this one newly re printed , Persephone do an amazing job of reprinting lost authors / works I have never read a bad one #Persephonebookclub #persephonebooks
pickIn 1659 Bavaria children are being killed, found with a mysterious sign on their bodies. Could the local midwife also be a witch?
It took me a long time to get through this as I found myself unable to concentrate on it for more than few pages at time. I will probably continue with the series but not for now.
Our third stop was my favorite… nothing but mysteries of all types!!
what in starting #2023 with.
im not too sure about the top hook, Cities That Shaped the Ancient World. Was hoping each city to have ~15 pages.. some of them have less info than whats on wikipedia.
the werewolf of bamberg is the 5th book in the hangman‘s daughter series. I‘m hoping this year to wrap up series I started over the year.

panHard to say much of anything about this book. I am surprised it won awards. The ending wasn‘t shocking but I didn‘t guess it either. I am not sure I liked the style of the writing either. The cover and description are better than the actual book. If you are looking for a quick mysterious read then this is a good book for that.
