The Witch of Limbricht

Entgen Luijten

All her life, Entgen Luijten has been used to going her own way, in family matters, in business and in love. She is supported in this by a vast knowledge of nature, which she also regularly uses to help her fellow villagers. But then, as a result of a few unfortunate incidents, she is accused of witchcraft. The lord of the castle is bent on a confession, for which he uses all the means that the Inquisition places at his disposal. But what if Entgen holds out against all expectations? The Witch of Limbricht is a novel based on facts about the courage, obstinacy and political consciousness of an untamed woman. Her trial in 1674, of which all records have been preserved, takes a turn no one could have predicted.
