Book #28 -- Jess Wells, The Mandrake Broom, 210 pages.
An excellent historical fiction about the brave women who attempt to keep the knowledge of herbal remedies from being completely lost during the early European witch-hunts. Very clearly well researched and compelling, but ultimately also very depressing, unsurprisingly. A slow read but a very good one.
