Jeanette Winterson - "The Daylight Gate"

Based on the true events of the most famous Lancaster Witch trials (August Assize) this short novel follows the noble woman Alice Nutter who was tried and hanged for witchcraft together with a group of poor women.

Though not so in her usual style, still captivating and beautiful. Less poetic? Still intense language. Short simple sentences with depth.
