Fleetwood Shuttleworth has miscarried 3 babies and is pregnant again before she learns that a doctor has written to her husband warning him that she will not survive another pregnancy. Did her husband, an important merchant and squire, deliberately not tell her about the risk to her health?
Witchcraft was an ever present fear in the lives of girls and women in 17th century England and particularly in the area around Pendle in Lancashire.
The cover of the book is eyecatching and shows a noose surrounded by plants.
I loved The Witchfinder's Sister and hope that this book will be just as good.
