The book dragged bit in the middle and I found myself skimming some of the pages. It is always intriguing to see how authors tie fiction with fact. I think Hill did a relatively good job with this. There were enough fact based characters mixed with the characters from her imagination. This story not only explores the politics and religion of the times, but many personal stories are included as well. These stories always bring back the question of "How did this happen?"

Salem, Massachusetts, Winter 1692: In the parsonage of Reverend Samuel Parris, two young girls are seated by the fire and play at fortune telling as snow falls softly outside. What starts as a game sends one of the girls into a hysterical trance, and a small town begins its descent into madness. Accusations of witchcraft would destroy lives and old scores would be settled. Over 150 people would be arrested and imprisoned, with even more accused of consorting with the devil. In this book, the author brings her historical and political understanding together with her skills as a novelist to produce a picture of the Salem witch trials both realistic and emotional.
