Historical fiction covering the period of the Salem Witch Trials as told by a child. The story is also the true story of the author’s relative. An easy read and very moving, but sad tale part of our nation’s history.

This is the 6th book in the “No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” series. I didn’t like the writing and found the Botsana words that are interspersed made it hard to enjoy. Lacking in plot.
