What drew my attention was the mystery exuded by the book cover, and as I pored through the pages, I read parts of the prologue and the first chapter. I instantly knew this is a book i can read with intensity. Having an interest in religious history and women’s rights, a young woman’s struggle and ‘triumph’ in 17th century is inspiring – something that rings through in our present day struggle for rights and recognition. Definitely a great read and worth rereading.
