The Basque Witch-Hunt: A Secret History, by Jan Machielsen
‘Witches aside, Pierre de Lancre saw many other strange things as he travelled down the Basque coast during the summer of 1609.’ This surreal opening line is a fitting beginning to The Basque Witch-Hunt, for the story which Machielsen sets out to tell has as long and knotty a plot as any Gabriel García Márquez novel.
