Synopsis

Book by Gaskell Elizabeth

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The book, though little, has power. It was written with a skilled hand adept at portraying what beats beneath our fears, beneath our dreams and wants. It also talks of human suffering, pain, love and death. Though short, 'Lois the Witch' is a beautiful Victorian novel, worth savouring for a few more hundred years.' --Linear Reflections

'Elizabeth Gaskell has produced a well-researched tale highlighting the religious bigotry and malicious superstition, which surrounded the Salem Witch Trials. A reading group wishing to indulge in a little known historical classic would find plenty to discuss in this story written one hundred and fifty years ago.' --The Directory
