Reading this novel was a traumatic experience; one doesn't have to have suffered in these particular venues to hurt in sympathy with the protagonist. Any woman, girl, child, and any man with a Sensitive heart will surely find Anna's tribulations extraordinary (and those of the historical villager Maggie as well). Strongly written, compelling, horrifying, THE BURNING powerfully delineates societal double standards, both now and in the 16th century.
