• The New York Times Book Review: " ...nothing ordinary about her creation of this remarkable woman. The novel abounds in literary grace. It employs the voices of the times as though heard this minute."
• The New Yorker Magazine: "A striking novel...a compelling portrait."
• The Washington Post: "Pure pleasure. Anne Hutchinson is real; thanks to Witnesses, she at last assumes her proper place...in American history." —Jonathan Yardley, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic.
• Ballantine Books: “This fearless woman, mother of fifteen, a leader in medicine and politics, comes to vivid life in these pages. A true believe in religious freedom who paid dearly for her principles in two trials for heresy. In the tradition of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, witnesses is the deeply felt portrait of a woman in the paranoid climate of 17th century Boston.”
