Notes From Your Bookseller
Margaret Meyer's debut is unlike any witch hunt novel you've ever read. A midwife finds herself thrust into the midst of a witch hunter's investigation when she is enlisted to search for evidence of "witches' marks" on the bodies of the accused. But is she a witch herself? Taut and psychologically rich, this remarkable novel examines the limits of loyalty and the bonds of friendship under extreme duress.
Named a best historical novel of the year by The New York Times Book Review and “reminiscent of both The Scarlet Letter and Hamnet” (Jezebel), The Witching Tide is a powerful debut inspired by the true events behind a deadly witch hunt in 17th-century England.
