"Something terrible happened in Salem Village in 1692 ... but it isn't what you think!"
Centering her story on Salem Village and its inhabitants, exploring their dark household corners as if she is solving a crime, the author adeptly details how the disintegration occurred while spinning familiar facts in new directions, with the mysterious "afflictions" finally explained. Part parable, part star-crossed romance, and part supernatural venture, THE AFFLICTED GIRLS is an intuitive human history--and inhuman--spun with a modern twist.
