The Wax Child by Olga Ravn, Martin Aitken
Set in seventeenth-century Denmark, The Wax Child follows noblewoman Christenze Kruckow as she tries to escape rumors that she practices witchcraft — blamed for illness, misfortune, and even for fashioning a sinister wax child. She moves to the port city of Aalborg, but suspicion and fear follow her, exploring how rumor and superstition can upend a life.
