Resumen: Jennet’s life was horrible. Now she’s in Lancaster prison but she lived with her family some years. When she was a girl, her family was poor.

Jennet’s brother and Jennet’s mother died too because they killed people and they were witches, too.
Jennet lived happy for some years with an important man. But when the man died, people began to say she was a witch and took her to Lancaster prison.
Crítica personal: It is a sad history but the book is interesting.
