The year is 1692. In the Puritan town of Salem, Massachusetts, a group of young girls accuse their neighbors of witchcraft, sparking a firestorm of suspicion and fear. As the trials begin, no one is safe from the hysteria sweeping the community. Stacy Schiff's "Witches" plunges readers into the chilling heart of this historic tragedy, where the search for truth is as elusive as the women accused of consorting with the devil.
