Dunwich, Suffolk, 1615. The King’s Men are performing a tale of witchcraft and ambition, murder and death. Firm friends Priscilla, Elizabeth and Aubrey, fourteen years old, watch in excitement and horror as the story unfolds. That day never leaves them.

Thirty years later they are seized, accused of witchcraft by the same man who will stop at nothing to destroy them. As Dunwich crumbles into the sea, and with their friendship damaged by betrayal and lies, they face the hangman’s noose. How will they survive?

History has left us their confessions. This is the story of their lives.

Laina West has painstakingly researched and written three harrowing yet fascinating stories of women alleged to be witches in this part of East Anglia in the 17^th century. Her three historical novels, all very different, tell the tales of poor women accused of witchcraft in Southwold Aldeburgh and Dunwich. Recently Laina gave a talk here in Aldeburgh about her research and how she came to write these three tales. If you buy one of her books you can listen to her talk on YouTube.
