Swiss best seller and modern classic based on the true story of the last woman convicted of witchcraft in Europe.Independent and self-confident, Anna Gö ldin is not what is expected of a servant of her time, and the resentment that her audacity arouses in the upper class of the canton of Glarus ends up being her undoing: when the girl in her care begins spitting out needles, the local authority, judge and party, decides that she is a witch and is sentenced to die.In this modern classic of Swiss literature, Eveline Hasler examines how a conviction for witchcraft, historically known as "the judicial murder of Anna Gö ldin", could have taken place in the heart of Europe during the height of the Enlightenment.

A novel that reveals the terror policies of a society obsessed with maintaining control and power at the expense of minorities.

A historical testimony of violence against women.
