Sorcières : La puissance invaincue des femmes by Mona Chollet attracted attention and sales in France when it was originally published in 2018. Now as In Defense of Witches: The Legacy of the Witch Hunts and Why Women Are Still on Trial translated to English by Sophie R. Lewis in 2022. Countless pages later, almost 8 hours, (x2)— I ran into toil and trouble. A longer review on my blog. Thoughts, questioning some specific parts for accuracy, clarity, comparing a little with the French edition too. Unfortunately, it came out when I had other priorities, so languished on my TBR.  Bref, ignorez les best-sellers, ne vous forcez pas!
