The Hangman's Daughter

I just finished reading The Hangman's Daughter!  What a Book!! I can't believe the things that happened back in these days.  The fact that they could accuse someone of being a witch all because they thought so is unreal!! I couldn't understand at first why the book was called The Hangman's daughter as she didn't have too much to do with the story. I guess more towards the end she did.  The plot is back in the 1600's and children are being killed.  The town rallies to blame a woman that they say is a witch, and she is thrown in jail.  They then torture the woman trying to get her to confess.  The town has "A Hangman" who carries out all of the death sentences.  In this case, the "Witch" delivered the hangmans children, and alot of the other children and the hangman knows she is not guilty.  So, he works together with the physicians son, (his daughters unallowed boyfriend) to find out the truth.  In the end, they find out it was the devil and the hangman kills him.  They then take the witch out of jail and the town returns to normal.  The hangman then allows his daughter to date the physician's son which is normally forbidden. 

This was a good book, but not my normal genre of book.  Thanks BzzAgent for my free E-Books!! On to the next one..............
