More DescriptionThe novel The Witch takes readers on a spirited adventure through a landscape of Elizabethan controversies. Johnston's thoughtful and independent characters serve as guides along a journey of the political and religious issues of the time. Encompassing controversies, adventure and passion, Johnston embroils her characters in a variety of precarious situations. Accused of witchcraft and atheism, her characters narrowly escape a harrowing sea voyage to America, are abandoned by the ship, land in the Bahamas, and finally return to England. Written in the rhetoric of the early 20th century, Johnston's novel is both an exciting tale of suspense as well as excellent read for those interested in the Elizabethan Era and the issues inherent to that time period.The book is also provides a very good social history of the period.
