The Witch

Set in the colony of Virginia, Mary Johnston’s 'The Witch' tells a haunting tale of forbidden love and religious persecution. When beautiful, free-spirited Joan Danvers is accused of witchcraft, she becomes a target of suspicion and fear within her community. Amidst growing hysteria, only one man, Richard, dares to defy convention and stand by her side. As Joan faces mounting trials and tribulations, she must fight to prove her innocence and protect those she holds dear. Johnston masterfully weaves together elements of historical romance and gothic suspense, creating a vivid portrayal of a society gripped by superstition and prejudice. 'The Witch' explores themes of justice, intolerance, and the power of love in the face of adversity, making it a timeless and captivating read.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
