Based on the story of Alice Kyteler, the first Irish woman condemned of witchcraft. The language, story structure, and atmosphere are wonderful, and medieval tales are my favorite. Alice isn‘t a likable woman, know that going in. But her story is compelling as a woman with money and power during the 1300‘s made her a target for hate and jealousy, as did her many marriages.
Reminded me of Eleanor from Karen Brooks‘ wonderful The Wife of Bath.
