Welcome to Litsy!

I very much enjoyed this novella of the Salem witch trials. Written in the 19th century about events of the 17th century, Gaskell's account is not lurid, rather it is level-headed and historically quite accurate. While Lois's story is clearly fictional, Gaskell did her research as the book hews closely to actual events.

I'm going to get around to reading Gaskell's full-length novels soon! #BookishLiesITellMyself

Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.🎶

Clarissa definitely has a lot going on and is more apprehensive than someone certain life is going to go their way, but she knows how to enjoy a morning! #melodiousmusicals #ohwhatabeautifulmorning
