For real, I *loved* this book. It's sad and rough, but it's also very earthy and direct. Galchen cuts away as much romance as she can to get to the cruel nature of courts, rumour, and the ways social structures are manipulated for personal gain. Incredibly well-crafted.

Blackwarren Books @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social · Apr 17

Lu: I just finished Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen. An impeccably-researched and thoughtfully-fictionalized account of a real 1619 trial. The 21st century resonances are quite obvious, and quite deft. Highly reccomended!
