I love a story based in real history. Add in a little medical drama alongside the “magic” apothecaries were accused of conjuring and AUGH!! This was a real treat. Lovely quick little read, despite the novel’s subject matter.
PS FURTHER PROOF THAT WE DON’T TRUST MEN WITH J NAMES.
Graphic: Miscarriage, Murder, Infertility, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Suicide and Infidelity
