- Reading
- Try reading a few sections at a time and notice whose perspective is speaking. Pause together when accusations arise, and check in if the historical setting or characters’ choices feel troubling.
- Themes
- Accusations and truth: Illness in the village is linked to witchcraft, and new accusations mount as the girls confront whether to tell the truth. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Loyalty, safety and ambition: The characters’ relationships and motives differ: one seeks safety, another is driven by jealousy, and another weighs loyalty against a hoped-for future. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Accusations of witchcraft and the threat they pose to people in the community are central.
