Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch

 Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch, Rivka Galchen, read by Natasha Soudek, 275 pgs.

In 1618 there is a plague, a war and times are kind of tough.  Katharina is accused of being a witch.  The case is far from air tight...a lifetime of witnesses are called.  All of them are less than convincing but maybe there is more at play.  Katharina is illiterate but savvy, she is mostly concerned with keeping her cow safe and healthy. As the wheels of the justice system turn slowly, she recognizes the chance of being railroaded but won't change her behavior to try to save herself.  I can't say enough good about this book.  Absolutely charming and the narration is a treasure.
