I thought this was so interesting. I really liked the introduction and notes on historical accuracy because it helped me to situate Tituba in the wider story. I think the narrative itself was really fascinating but I felt it was slightly rushed. Like I just wanted a bit more time spent on each thing. Overall though I am so glad I read this and now I kind of want to read it in French to read especially the poem as well as some other parts
