Everyone Knows Your Mother Is A Witch by Rivka Galchen
Set in 17th-century Germany during an era of superstition and unrest, this novel imagines the true story of an elderly woman accused of witchcraft and the ripple effects of the accusation through her small town and family. With a sharp, often darkly comic voice, it follows the legal and social battle that ensues—highlighting rumor, cruelty, and the bureaucracy of the witch trials—while exploring filial devotion, the precariousness of reputation, and the strange mixtures of fear and absurdity that fuel communal persecution.
