This wild and entertaining novel expands on the true story of the West Indian slave Tituba, who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, arrested in 1692, and forgotten in jail until the general amnesty for witches two years later. Maryse CondA(c) brings Tituba out of historical silence and creates for her a fictional childhood, adolescence, and old age. She turns her into what she calls "a sort of female hero, an epic heroine, like the legendary 'Nanny of the maroons, '" who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that owns her.CARAF Books: Caribbean and African Literature Translated from FrenchThis book has been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agencY.

居然有人打過1星?因為不是想象中的witch hunt故事?還是挺愛Tituba的。果然凡是有Puritan的小說都壓抑到不行。
評分我還是更喜歡把這本書當作Tituba自己的故事來讀,所以覺得最後一部分關於叛亂的有點無聊。。畢竟愛是多麼幸福的事情。

評分VERY immersive reading experience but also pull the reader away in the artificial structure. Great book
