Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'A Mirror for Witches' is a haunting psychological exploration of the 17th-century witch trials in New England. The narrative follows the tragic life of Doll Bilby, a young woman brought from Brittany to the stern Puritan settlement of Salem. Haunted by the traumatic memory of seeing her parents executed for witchcraft in Europe, Doll grows up in an atmosphere of religious fervor and suspicion. As she navigates a world where the line between reality and demonic delusion is blurred, she begins to believe in her own supernatural powers and her perceived compact with the Devil.The novel employs a unique narrative style that mimics the formal, slightly archaic prose of a 17th-century chronicler, providing a chillingly authentic look at the hysteria, superstition, and social isolation that fueled the persecutions of the era. More than just a historical account, the work is a profound character study that examines the power of suggestion and the devastating impact of communal fear.
