I'll write for you the very first page so you can decide if its your style or not. Ive always loved historical fiction and this book gives you a simple quick read with much mystery. The first page is just her introducing herself pretty much then she has a flash back of how it all started, and that begins the story.
"I have come early this afternoon to sit, befire anyone else arrives, in the quiet of Salem meeting hiuse. It is cool in here, thiugh the August sun beats down outside-even at the end of the day-on corn that stands high in the fields and on fruit trees already laden with their fall harvest.
I am a strsnger in this church. Indeed, i have not been here since spring of 1692, so long ago now that it seems but a dim memory, and the girl I was at that time seems certainly like another person. Me and yet not me, that young girl. For she was as innocent to the dangersariund her as my own baby daughter who now sleeps peacefully in my arms.
Another world it was back then, although most of us hereabouts live with some mark of the events of that time still upon us. And those marks might as well be a limping leg or a scarred face or lost fingers on one hand, for the way in which so many have been crippled.
As for me, I speak seldom, if ever, of those terrible months of 1692. Nor does my husband. Indeed, I thought I had put them behind me until I came up into this church today. When I did, once I entered tyese portals, it all came rushing back. Mostly I thought of mama. And when I first sat down here,with my three year old boy beside me and the baby in my arms, it was Mamas face I saw, Mamas voice I heard, like it was yesterday."
