Review title: Fanciful
Product review: As more scholarly reviewers have already pointed out, the author has done little more than propose a novel theory and then scour the historical record to prop up her suppositions. An example that sticks in my head is when Winn theorizes that mosquitoes may have been the disease bearers. Her reasoning runs: the Salem girls were mostly affected, right? And girls work in the garden, where there are mosquitoes, and girls do chores in the dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are active. Uhhh...did Puritan men ever get out of the kitchen in Winn's world? Then a page later, she announces that it could have been ticks. After all, men went out into the woods and cut tick-infested lumber for firewood (conveniently not getting bitten). The lumber was then placed in homes where the girls lived, and, well, you do the math. It just doesn't add up to anything more than a fanciful "say, what if?....nah."
