The Master and the Maid is a historical novel which places the main character, Katarina, in the suspect position of being an unmarried woman raising a child at a time when single women were routinely burned as witches for offences as seemingly innocuous to us today as an extensive knowledge of herbs or dancing. Her impetuous choice in love forces her to return to Sichardtshof, the country estate where she was raised, to care for her aging grandmother and a baby foisted on her by a desperate huntsman, and to deflect the advances of Sichardtshof’s new master.
