The Hour of the Witch - Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mary decides to file for divorce from Thomas after a vicious attack. Though he has abused her all five years of their marriage, there is no proof. They both provided stories of Mary's clumsiness. 
Fearing for her safety,  Mary moves in with her parents while her scribe prepares her case. 
Whispers of Mary practicing witchcraft surface. They steal the attention away from the years Mary suffered domestic violence.  
Mary fights hard for her independence- refusing to bow to her community's ongoing insistence Mary attempt mediation rather than divorce - their value on the sanctity of marriage than a wife's right to safety. 
Women have endured abuse from the beginning of time.  Yet again a terrifying question  - what has changed in 500 years? Women are still not valued as a people, suffer abuse at the hands of men, rulings made by men. I could go on. 
Slow build, great ending.
