Description:
San Francisco, 1916. The streets
roiling: pitched battles between radical workers and the henchmen of industrial
barons, and between a vibrant, largely Italian immigrant anarchist milieu and
the forces of state and church. All in the looming shadow of Europe’s raging
war, and of a fierce struggle over whether the U.S. should commit its might,
and human fodder, to the slaughter in the trenches.
Into this maelstrom arrives Kate
Jameson, a novice envoy from Washington tasked to secretly investigate the
tenor of support for war entry among San Francisco’s business elite. She’s also
hoping to glimpse her wayward daughter, Maggie, whose last message to Kate had
come from there. And, too, she’s seeking the ghost of her husband Jamey, who
fifteen years earlier had landed there upon his return, shattered, from his
part in the U.S. occupation of the Philippines.
Arriving back in the city at the
same moment is Baldo Cavanaugh, a Sicilian-Irish son of San Francisco whose militant
beliefs and special skills have led him time and again to the violent extremes of
the city’s turbulent history. And who now must confront the doubts and demons of
his own character, which he’d sought to escape by fleeing the city three years
before.
This stunning tale
explores how these two seemingly disparate characters become engaged with the city’s
and nation’s turmoil, and with the complexities of their related pasts in
Boston, Dublin, London, Cuba, and the Philippines. A vivid picture of a city
and a moment, the novel brilliantly reveals the explosive admixture of the
deeply personal and the deeply politica

A Riveting Read!
Format: Kindle
Come along for the page-turning tale of young Hannah, a brave young woman who just wants to do good in a time of madness. I read this in one sitting! Highly recommended for anyone interested in historical fiction. This would also make a wonderful accompaniment for school-age curriculum in grade 5 or above.

Great Book!
Format: Paperback
This book was a great read. So well written, and keeps you on your toes the entire time. I overall really enjoyed reading about Hannah's experience, and I could not put the book down because I was so eager to find out what happened to her! The author(s) clearly put a lot of time into researching the Salem Witch Trials and creating a book that has an accurate (and fact-based) representation of the historical event. I wish this book had been around when I was in elementary school or middle school, as I know my younger self would be in awe of Hannah's story and her unwavering bravery/compassion. Overall, a great read that I would highly recommend to others.

**Actual Rating 4.5** Highly enjoyable read!
Format: Kindle
Overall
This is a very well written fast paced read. Hannah is an excellent character with a strong moral compass. It has a bit of a slow start but picks up very quickly. It’s historical references are fantastic and the setting was beautifully drawn. It’s appropriate for the age range and even endeavors to show how actions have consequences. However, there were a lot of unresolved threads and even the outcome didn’t sufficiently demonstrate much of the short story strived to demonstrate.
That being said this short story read was well worth the time I very much enjoyed this little read. Best part is there are historical references. This is not the first iteration of the Salem Witch Trials, typically the story goes in one of two directions, where it was true (there were witches) or faked (girls on a power trip). This has been repeated through history and despite the excitement at the prospect of witches in 1692 Salem, the latter and the premise of this story is far more plausible.
Rating
4.5 (rounded down)
A strong educational and historical novella that’s setting and characterization leave a positive impression.
Where did I copy?

Interesting
Format: Kindle
The book was good. I was inspired by my student who did a project on this book. I was very impressed with her project that I had to read more about The Salem Witch Trails. I’m impressed to say the less and this book for anyone who like books based on true events and it definitely kept me interested because I finish this book within a day. I recommend this book to anyone.

Correct research and good writing
Format: Kindle
I Escaped the Salem Witch Trials is a gripping recreation of what happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. It is told from the point of view of one girl who wasn’t swept up in the hysteria that gripped so many of her companions. The characters are believable and skillfully drawn and the reader understands the fear that must have clutched the inhabitants of the small town of Salem. The narrative loses a little steam when it comes to the escape from the Boston gaol, but that doesn’t detract from the historically accurate depiction of these infamous trials.
The details have been well researched, and the book’s production values are excellent. I would recommend this to any school children who want to gain some insight into how the witch trials came about, or any parents who want to learn a little about the dark side of our puritan ancestors.
