An absolutely captivating historical fiction that will transport you back in time and capture you from the start. The witch-hunts were a terrifying time in history, and Fearns does an excellent job of bringing the time period, the fear, the suspicion, and the characters to life. It was interesting to see it all from the perspective of one of the witch-hunters, and you might find his views a bit frustrating at times (I know I did). It can also be a bit disturbing at times, but I think it was intentional, and really drives home the horrors of this time in history even though this is a work of fiction. Highly recommend for all horror lovers! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Perhaps all women are witches at heart... The year is 1545; Geneva has defeated the Catholic forces of the Duke of Savoy and established itself as the center of the Reformation, with John Calvin as its spiritual leader. But peace is fragile and the city ravaged by plague, the atmosphere one of fear and suspicion. So when new rumors of witchcraft emerge from the isolated village of Satigny, Calvin sees an opportunity, and plucks a reclusive young magistrate to investigate. Henry Aubert was orphaned by plague at the age of twelve, and since then he has lived alone, consumed by fear and by the temptations he finds in the margins of his book collection. Now, for the first time, he is forced to confront the possibility of society, friendship, even love. Local healer Louise de Peney is kind and beautiful, but skirts dangerously close to the fringes of his investigation. Can he escape the horrific task he has been set? And is it too late to save a soul that has too long been turned in on itself? --from back cover. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
