Utterly terrible, boring, and cliche. The plot involves the Salem Witch Trials, reincarnation, and zombies, which I'm not saying can't work, it just didn't with this one. Not one thing or person in this book bore any resemblance to those in the series, other than using the same names, and the dialogue was beyond awkward. I'm not even sure the author ever saw the show. Everything was so cardboard. No, I'm wrong, it was far worse than that, more like cardboard that had been out in a torrential downpour. For a week. Gross, soggy, mushy cardboard. Filled with rat turds. Not recommended at all.

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

Verbiage hard to grasp
It's a good book, but a bit of a struggle
The book is set in the 1600’s and depicts a young lady, Fleetwood, who has had the misfortune of loosing 3 pregnancies, and is pregnant with her third. Worried she is unable to sustain a pregnancy, after finding a letter to her husband stating it could kill her, she turns to a mysterious stranger for support.

Although not historically accurate in terms of the characters story, the book is set around the time of the Pendle Witch Trials in 1612. Some of the characters themselves are named after real people of historical significance. The relevance of this, is that her mysterious stranger / employed midwife becomes an object of suspicion herself.
