THE WITCH S TRINITY

Witch. Some words can kill . . . To Güde`s son and grandchildren it could mean the loss of a loved one. To Güde it could mean torture and death at the stake. And to Güde`s daughter-in-law it could mean one less mouth to feed. Germany, 1507. In a time when famine is rife and panic spreading, people resort to desperate measures in order to survive. So when a visiting friar suggests that witchcraft is to blame for their failing crops, Irmeltrud sees it as an opportunity to get rid of her burdensome mother-in-law, Güde. Frustrated with having to feed the old woman who brings nothing to the table, she is quick to point the dreaded finger of suspicion. Güde has three days to clear her name, or be led to the stake . . . Vividly imagined, elegantly written, haunting and unforgettable, The Witch’s Trinity beautifully illuminates a dark period of history.
