J'ai trouvé cette histoire originale, avec une approche de la magie/sorcellerie bien spécifique. J'ai aimé l'attention portée aux paroles et à la volonté, qui sont des thèmes clés dans cette épopée. Il y a un bon équilibre entre ce qui se rattache au réel et à l'imaginaire ; c'est-à-dire les premières luttes des suffragettes ou la pauvreté, la situation des femmes fin 1800, mêlés à la magie et aux pouvoirs qu'elle offre aux hommes et aux femmes dans cette histoire.

I had very high hopes for this one, but ultimately I could not connect with any of the characters. I really did enjoy the historical outline, but sometimes the conversation wasn’t fitting with the time period. For example, blatant expletives used by the characters is more associated with the modern era. I tried to keep track of all of the characters never sure if they were tangential or people who mattered. With so many layers of information it is no wonder I had to force myself to the last page.

I would very much like a book about the Daughters of Tituba now.
