I could not ask for a finer review of my novel, The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn. Many, many, thanks to The Unhurried Reader for this considered and astute review that goes in depth into why I wrote this tale 'for feminists everywhere' that honours the name of Ann Watson and those murdered on accusations of witchcraft, and tells us, it is okay to be different.
A similar title is A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll. A neurodivergent girl perceives similarities between the American Puritan witch scare and judgment of those on the neurodivergent spectrum.
That's interesting, thank you. I've just had a quick look and that novel seems to be set in Scotland, rather than Colonial America, which ties in to the identity of the unnamed Scottish witch-pricker who was responsible for the Newcastle trials and executions. There could be as many stories as there were (principally) women who died and I am pleased that there is room for them in YA/children's fiction.

What a fabulously thoughtful, beautifully written review.
Thank you.
This sounds a fascinating and intriguing novel. A beautifully written piece.
