Summary "The Witch" by Mary Johnston is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, it explores themes of power, gender, and societal expectations. The story introduces readers to Gilbert Aderhold, a physician navigating the complex political and social landscape of England, where suspicion and intrigue often lead to dire consequences. At the start of the book, the dying Queen Elizabeth is central to the unfolding events as citizens reflect on her reign filled with triumph and tragedy. Contrastingly, Gilbert Aderhold, an outsider newly returned to England, finds himself embroiled in the tension of the times. The narrative captures Aderhold's first interactions with the court and commonfolk alike, as he grapples with personal and societal conflicts while trying to establish himself amid rumors, a changing monarchy, and the witch hunts that loom over the public consciousness. Throughout these early chapters, the atmosphere is charged with a sense of foreboding as both the Queen's reign and Aderhold's future hang in the balance, making for a rich and engaging introduction to this historical fiction.
