Book Review of The Witch of Cologne

The Witch of Cologne
reviewed The Inquisition's pursuit of a Jewess. on + 8 more book reviews


A dark setting during the early years of the what later became known as the "Age of Enlightenment," this is an historical romance which leans toward eroticism: the story of an intelligent woman pursued by a man of the cloth who, rejected by her, pursues and persecutes her over time. The story line and the main character's adventures keep your interest, although I found the book to be a bit too long and melodramatic for my owns tastes.
