I've always been interested in the Salem witch trials.

I'm in a similar position now, having read 1/2 of a book and trying to figure out if I want to spend time finishing it. So far, it hasn't seemed worth it.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-32052837125511768112008-10-13T22:45:00.000-04:002008-10-13T22:45:00.000-04:00What a thoughtful review, with personal history, Marie! I've always like The Crucible and have read three times. I agree that Salem witchcraft is a patch of history that fits into the modern times. I'll definitely read this novel. :)mattviewshttp://mattviews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-63557736173523381672008-10-13T19:50:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:50:00.000-04:00Marie thanks I will ask one of the ladies down at the local branch I go to about that!Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02026987005323003596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-81321427071986257302008-10-11T21:57:00.000-04:002008-10-11T21:57:00.000-04:00Kathy, I did a search on worldcat.org for keywords "salem witch trials" and subject "fiction" and found a bunch of things. maybe your library can interlibrary-loan something for you? i hope you can get to some of these books. some of the writers, like katherine lasky, are very good. :-)<BR/><BR/>Lo, Thank you! :-) I wish I could get to your Blogger profile to send you an email or see your blog. If you have a blog URL could you email it to me at bibliophile at bostonbibliophile dot com so I can read and comment on your blog too?

I figured you might enjoy it. I would love to find other novels written on the same subject but I guess the Tulsa county library doesn't have any.Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02026987005323003596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-10673867519915629862008-10-11T10:21:00.000-04:002008-10-11T10:21:00.000-04:00I don't know who the next witches will be but apparently there are some out there.

Of course, I love that era of English history, so maybe I'm a bit biased :)<BR/><BR/>Shana<BR/><A HREF="http://blog.literarily.com" REL="nofollow">Literarily</A>Shanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11695675436355697914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-34058608630433216362008-10-10T07:30:00.000-04:002008-10-10T07:30:00.000-04:00There was a very good program on the History Channel a few years ago that put the case for ergot poisoning (that is something that can be found in one of the grains - my memory is not good) as the cause of many of the symptoms of the supposed bewitched not only in the U.S. but also in Europe. What a sentence. And, of course, religion and ignorance carried on from there.<BR/><BR/>I think I would like to read this book.candyschultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09535661393791135479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-32287718309414687062008-10-09T22:13:00.000-04:002008-10-09T22:13:00.000-04:00I've been debating about whether to add this to the TBRs.
