Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

2.0

I....really rather hated this. It felt long and drawn out and boring. Mary felt one dimensional and the pacing of this novel was so god awful. The quotes at the beginning of the chapters did nothing to serve the narrative other than to drive up expectations that it just didn't deliver. When I got to the end all I could think was....this is it?? And that epilogue! Why? I really felt like this story had potential, witchcraft and domestic abuse and lust....but good God I would rather drive a "devil's tine" into my own hand than pick this up again which is a shame after reading so many other great novels by this author.
