The Somerset Tsunami by Emma Carroll

 

I love Historical stories and Emma Carroll is the Queen of Historical Fiction. This story was inspired by a real tsunami that affected England and South Wales in 1607. In the story people were looking for someone to blame in a time of superstition and suspected witchcraft. Fortune Sharpe is accused of bewitching the sea and causing the disaster – will she be proved innocent. Read and find out!
