«Le Bûcher des certitudes» is the historical novel by Bernadette Pécassou, published by Albin Michel in paperback (256 pages, in French).
In the Basque Country of 1609, an inquisitor sent by Henry IV sets out to eradicate witchcraft by burning bodies to purify souls. Four women of different standing —a healer, a young woman in love, a wife awaiting her husband, and a woman desperate to escape poverty— see their fates cross before the witch-hunter's fanaticism.
The cover subtitle is «Sorcières, amoureuses ou femmes libres?». Bernadette Pécassou has also published, among others, La Belle Chocolatière, L'Impératrice des Roses and La Passagère du France.
For readers of historical fiction interested in women's history and religious repression in the Basque Country.
