About this product

Limbricht, near Sittard, at the end of the seventeenth century. Entgen Luijten has spent her life going her own way, in family matters, in business and in love. She is supported in this by a great knowledge of nature, which she regularly uses to help her fellow-villagers. But then she is accused of witchcraft because of some unfortunate incidents. The lord of the manor is eager for a confession, for which he uses all the means available to him by the Inquisition. But what if Entgen persists against all odds? De heks van Limbricht is a novel based on facts, about the courage, willfulness and political consciousness of an untamed woman. Her trial in 1674, of which all the documents have been preserved, goes differently than anyone could have predicted.
