bailed

Attempted to listen while cleaning my house and after a couple of chapters…do not remember a thing about what happened. Don‘t think this one is for me. Enjoy #literarycrew

AmyG Hahahaha. Same. I spaced out through the beginning and then bailed. 2d

IndoorDame @Sargar114 @AmyG ditto! 2d

Bookwormjillk I keep wanting to like this but I‘ve had the same experience. Like water through a sieve. 2d

Librarybelle Thanks for trying! 2d

CarolynM It‘s a great book, but it needs your full attention. 2d

Ended up really enjoying this one. It was a little slow to start, but the second half flew by. I also loved the ending. Read for #literarycrew. Will answer follow up questions a bit later

Librarybelle Hooray!! 2w

AmyG His daughter read this. One of my favorites of his. 2w

Sargar114 @AmyG oh I didn‘t know that. She did a great job! 2w

IndoorDame I think you can take me off the list for this. It‘s still on the list of things I want to read someday, but it‘s on the (growing long) list of things I‘ve started this month and just can‘t seem to get into right now 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7d

Librarybelle @IndoorDame Okay!! 😁 7d

kspenmoll I started this ages ago & never finished. If I can get it from library again I will strive to finish & join in. 6d

Librarybelle Sounds good, @kspenmoll ! 6d

This is a somewhat typical tale of an innocent puritan woman being accused of witchcaft while trying to get away from her husband but the ending really makes the book and Mary was a fantastic character 🤎
#LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle

Librarybelle So glad you liked it! 2w

Sargar114 I agree, the ending was great and didn‘t really see it coming. 2w

7. In what ways does Mary‘s story resonate today? ~adapted from Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

BookwormAHN So maybe women are being condemned as witches presently but stuck with abusive husbands, that is definitely still happening. 2w

Sargar114 Oh you mean the prevalent gaslighting and marginalization of women…the more things change the more they stay the same 2w

5. As you were reading, who did you think buried the objects in the ground outside Mary‘s door? Were you surprised by the answer? ~from Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

BookwormAHN I wasn't sure. At first I thought it could have even been her husband. I thought he might have been trying to blackmail her with a witchcraft accusation. 2w

Sargar114 Yeah I was more and more thinking that it was Thomas and this was his get outta jail free plan if/when she tried to run out or accuse him of anything. 2w

4. Discuss Henry Simmons‘ actions throughout the novel from his first encounter with Mary, to the kiss in her parents‘ dining room. Do you approve of his behavior? What about Mary‘s? ~from Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

BookwormAHN I liked him. I think he was just young and impetuous. 2w

Sargar114 Agreed @BookwormAHN they were both young for that matter 2w
