When I first started this book I was slightly dubious as to whether I would be able to finish it or not.
I found the writing style quite difficult at first, you can tell the author has previously written books of poetry.
After a few chapters though I was swept into the story, I desperately wanted to find out what happened to Rebecca west and the others. Ultimately it is a bitter sweet ending, but that was probably obvious from the start given the history of the witch trials. I congratulate the author on giving the characters such depth and bringing them back to life for their stories to be told again. #akblakemore
