December's Middletown Book for Discussion: Hour of the Witch (Dec. 16)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, December 16.  Our title is Chris Bohjalian's Hour of the Witch.  Here is a brief summary:

"The enthralling story of a young Puritan woman who marries the wrong man, seeks to divorce him, and soon finds herself caught up in the violence and hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials"  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available through OhioLINK, and SearchOhio.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
