Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts–paper, cotton, pottery, tin–and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

In a 17th-century English village gripped by Puritanical fervor, Rebecca West, fatherless and husbandless, chafes against the drudgery of her days. But then a newcomer arrives, identifying himself as the Witchfinder General. Dangerous rumors of covens, pacts, and bodily wants begin to swirl around women like Rebecca—and the future is as frightening as it is thrilling. Brimming with contemporary energy, The Manningtree Witches plunges readers into the fever and menace of the witch trials, and into a moment when arrogant men begin to realize—perhaps too late—that those they oppress are about to rise and claim their freedom.
