The Burning Time

Description

Rose's idyllic existence in sixteenth century france is destroyed when her father dies, and her mother--a midwife and healer to half the families in the town--is arrested and accused of being a witch. When her mother begs Rose to save herself, Rose must weigh the terror of death against the pain of life on her own. First published in 1993, The Burning Time is an unrelenting examination of cruelty and injustice.
