About The Manningtree Witches
England, 1643: as civil war and Puritan fervour transform the country, the women of Manningtree are left to survive in a town stripped of men. Rebecca West chafes against drudgery until Matthew Hopkins arrives with accusations that turn unease into persecution. Caught between betrayal and fear, Rebecca must find a way to endure the witch-hunt closing around her.
