Book Description: Salem, Massachusetts, Winter 1692: In the parsonage of Reverend Samuel Parris, two young girls are seated by the fire and play at fortune-telling as snow falls softly outside. What starts as a game sends one of the girls into a hysterical trance, and a small town begins its descent into madness. Accusations of witchcraft would destroy lives and old scores would be settled. Over 150 people would be arrested and imprisoned, with even more accused of consorting with the devil. In 'Deliverance from Evil' Frances Hill brings her deep historical and political understanding together with her honed skills as a novelist to produce a picture of the Salem witch trials both realistic and emotional. : Review: 'Not only a grisly read - as anything about Salem must be - but an engrossing one.' --Antonia Fraser, Literary Review: 'When history makes you weep, it is the novelists job to give meaning to the tears. Frances Hill has done this.' --Sarah Dunant, author of Sacred Hearts: 'Vivid description gives the feeling that the Salem Witch hunt happened five minutes ago.' --Los Angeles Times Book Review : About the Author: Frances Hill is an English historian, fiction novelist and journalist, a former reviewer for The Times and feature writer for The Guardian and Spectator.
