I'm Tituba

In the records of the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, attention is drawn to a strange name: "Tituba," the black slave who was accused of witchcraft.

Maryse Conde retells the story from before Tituba was born, from the moment her mother conceived her, on the ship that took her to be sold with slaves on the island of Barbados; charting the course of her life, where faces, times, places, geography, and worlds intersect, and the living connect with the dead, and the spirit of the world flows, uniting man, plant, and animal... and where only one word guides the compass of our heroine in the world of chaos and cruelty: freedom!
