A review by norynor
The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley

4.0

In 17th century France, a group of nuns became possessed by devils. What preceded these events and the hysteria that followed was recorded in incredible detail through many different sources at the time, and Huxley wove these stories together into one fantastic account. If you love history or psychology this is a must read (although I recommend skipping the epilogue, it was a chore to read and didn’t add anything).
