Before the Salem witch trails came Manningtree witch trials. They happened between 1645 and 1647. For women in Essex, it was time of pure terror. This book is a fictionalized account of a true historical figure. While the novel cannot be considered as horror or gothic, it certainly shows the ruthlessness and the inhumanity of the men in that era. To live in an era where women get no rights, are considered secondary citizens, and also labeled as witches. Killed just because. Throughout you can see how scared Alice is from her brother. She can do nothing but what her brother says as he is his 'keeper'. “Nine months ago, my brother Matthew set himself to killing women.” -- Alice Manningtree #bookreader #thewitchfinderssister #bethunderdown #bookaday #bookfetish #bookaddict #bookstagram #book #currentlyreading #bookporn #bookpic #bookphotography #booklover #bookaholic #booksworthreading #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #booktography #booktographer #instagood #instagram #readingforfun #reading #readersofinstagram #unitedbookstagram
