Stacy Schiff, The Witches: Salem, 1692

Witches-Stacy-SchiffThe Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov) and the best-selling Cleopatra unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials.

It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister’s daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death.

As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff’s account of this fantastical story—the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
