Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

3.0

Meh. I think all things circling the general puritanical culture are bound to be the same story in different colors. This was similar. Parts of it were pretty interesting and I was definitely inclined to keep reading but I found myself mostly wanting for something deeper or more enticing. I thought Thomas Deerfield's actions would come into play a lot more than they did, even if he was a snake (see what I did Mary Deerfield?). I don't know, this was just okay. Decently satisfying ending. Did see the "twist" coming.

Overall, this contained the general theme of "women are less than men and their opinions and actions can be easily manipulated for a man's gain." Definitely some touches of feminism in here but done tastefully as to not feel too fictional.
