Coffee and reading by the pool. I never want July to end.

I read this book with my online book group, the theme being witches/wizards. It‘s an interesting story inspired by the Pendle Witch Trials. It‘s very well researched and written. I did find it a bit plodding, however, and it‘s full of misery! Too much hardship and suffering. I was very pleased to turn the last page. And I can‘t wait to start something more cheerful!
5 Stars • In Merivel: A Man of His Time by Rose Tremain, sequel to Restoration, aging physician Robert Merivel faces a midlife crisis in 17th-century England. Struggling with financial woes and a quest for purpose, he fails at Louis XIV‘s court, navigates personal losses, and deepens ties with his daughter and King Charles II. The novel blends humor and pathos, exploring mortality and redemption.
