Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian is a historical thriller set in 17th-century Puritan New England. The novel follows Mary Deerfield, a young woman trapped in an abusive marriage, who petitions for a divorce—a daring move for her time. As tensions rise, accusations of witchcraft surface, and Mary must navigate a dangerous world where superstition and misogyny reign. Combining historical detail with suspense, the book explores themes of power, survival, and the fragile line between guilt and innocence in a deeply patriarchal society.
