This book is marketed as YA but anyone can read it if they are interested in the subject natter. In BTBT, Mary and Caleb's mother is accused of being a witch and much of the book revolves around that plot point but not all of it as many are accused and yes, expect a bit of brutality but then again you probably already knew that. I do not seem to get tired of this subject, when it is done well, most likely because I never get the answers I seek as nobody really can.
This is a work of fiction, in that some of the characters are inventions of fiction but the events as everyone knows are not. But along with other terrible events, they did indeed. And you will most likely find yourself confused, horrified and in disbelief that events such as this ever happened in this great country. The characters and time period come to life. I've read many books on this subject and "Beyond the Burning Time" deserves to be recognized as up there with the best.
