Why read it?
1 author picked Sister Witch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The story of Moll Dyer caught my attention from the first page, the second my homeland was mentioned.

Violated, shunned, shipped off to the Colonies with her uncle, making an enemy in the process.
While this can be deemed historical fiction, it is a paranormal, supernatural story, of a witch-hunt that just keeps giving.
