Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian
3.0
OH MAN, this pains me to only be giving this 3*. I have such a crush on Chris Bohjalian and thoroughly enjoy his books and his writing style. With all that said, this one just didn't do it for me. That does not mean that it won't be your favorite read of 2021.
This story is based in the 17th century, Puritan Boston. Mary is a young beautiful women married to Thomas Deerfield who is much older than her. Mary wants a divorce, which is hard to get during this time. Mary may or may not be a witch. The story goes on from there. It starts out a bit slow, but does build throughout.
If you enjoy period books AND Chris Bohjalian, I encourage you to add this to your list of must reads for 2021.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Doubleday Books for this advanced readers copy. This book is due to release in April 2021.
