The Last Witchfinder by James K. Morrow
A headstrong woman in the era of witch trials turns personal loss into a lifelong crusade against superstition, traveling across England and colonial America to champion scientific reasoning and skeptical inquiry; the novel blends historical detail, satire, and philosophical argument as she confronts legal, religious, and social institutions that profit from fear, showing how wit, courage, and the emerging Enlightenment gradually erode belief in witches while exposing the human costs of intolerance.
