The witch's trinity

by Erika Mailman

Germany, 1507. In a time when famine is rife and panic spreading, people resort to desperate measures in order to survive. When a Dominican friar arrives in the small town of Tierkinddorf, convinced that witchcraft is to blame for the people's plight, no woman is safe from the pointing finger. Having witnessed her best friend being burnt at the stake, Gnde knows she could be next. But when the accusation of witchcraft comes from her own daughter-in-law, who relishes the prospect of having one less mouth to feed, Gnde's strength and faith are tested to their limits. The Witch's Trinity is a powerful story of injustice and betrayal; of women becoming the victims of desperate circumstance.
