I read this novel in one weekend and thoroughly enjoyed being immersed in the world of 1800's Newfoundland. Winsor paints a compelling picture of the strength of the people and the hardships they endure in their lives. The historical view on witches and their treatment by society is fascinating, as is Winsor's portrayal of Molly Chant, a compelling character who overcomes a life time of superstition and suffering to stay true to who she knows she is. I loved every minute of this book!

This was an interesting book. I couldn’t put it down once I started. The life of Molly was indeed a hard one dealing with all sorts of challenges from her time in Ireland to St John’s to her life near Bonavista.
