Tarmia's Reviews > Salem Falls

This book presents a story filled with feeling and truth; telling a complicated tale filled with mistakes and misunderstandings and interwoven with a storyline about Wickens? Teenage witches? Sure......
Initially, I was a little sceptical at the blending of these two things - a story about a wrongfully accused high school teacher who, having left prison and gone to a small town, again gets charged with rape and a group of teenage girls who practice magik. But, Picoult was able to work these two concepts into a story, and a good one at that, that is about much more than witches and rape - it's about identity and finding one's self, about love and acceptance, and about how people should not be judged by their pasts because the truth is not always there on the surface. I'm not sure what else to say.... but God, that ending was something.
