If you liked The Crucible, I think you'll like this. It follows a fictionalised account of real occurances and characters during the 'Witch Craze' of the English Civil War, and has a very "classic" style of writing - which didn't work for me but I'm sure some people would love. You can definitely tell the author is a poet.
Graphic: Murder, Confinement, Religious bigotry, and Sexism
Moderate: Death of parent, Blood, Child death, Classism, and Terminal illness
Minor: Pregnancy, Suicide, War, Miscarriage, Slavery, Sexual content, and Animal death
