Can she save herself from a witchs fate? Martha is a feisty and articulate young woman, the daughter of a wheelwright, living in a Herefordshire village in Elizabethan England. With no mother Marthas life is spent running her fathers meagre household and helping out at the local school whilst longing to escape the confines and smallmindedness of a community driven by religious bigotry and poverty. As she is able to read and is wellversed in herbal remedies she is suspected of being a witch. When a landslip occurs opening up a huge chasm in the centre of the village she is blamed for it and pursued remorselessly by the villagers. But can her own wits and the love of local stablehand Jacob save her from a witchs persecution and death... A brilliant and accomplished novel that perfectly captures the febrile atmosphere of Elizabethan village life in an age when suspicion and superstition were rife. Perfect for fans of Tracy Chevalier.
