liked it

I enjoyed this book, it’s very readable and I liked the characters (isn’t Fleetwood a fab girls name!!) but not enough of the story was actually on the witch trails for my liking. Which would have been fine but don’t advertise it as a book ‘based on the Pendle witch trials’ and then not really include the trails in the story much?! Wasted opportunity if you ask me. But I still enjoyed it and it was well written with a good ending.

saz 100% agree! I was expecting much more of a witchy atmosphere / more about the trials in general. Just felt more like a story about a young pregnant woman and her midwife who happened to maybe a witch ..?
