I’m reading The Last Witchfinder by James Morrow and loving it. Very satirical towards religion, hilarious in parts, touching in others.
The book is set in late-17th-century London and colonial New England, a time when everyday actions were judged according to the rigid Parliamentary Witchcraft Act, and suspect women and men were persecuted for alleged acts of sorcery. It plots rationality against superstitious bigotry, with the writing still somehow poetic and the plot meaningful in today’s world.
I hope it continues to be good until the end. Morrow has written several books. Anyone else read him?
