"Dulcibel: A Tale of Old Salem" by Henry Peterson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the infamous Salem witch trials, it focuses on the life of Dulcibel Burton, an orphaned heiress navigating the dangerous social landscape of Salem village amidst accusations of witchcraft and local rivalries. The story seems to delve into themes of love, jealousy, and the fervor of the Puritan community, with Dulcibel caught in a web of emotional and societal conflict. The opening portion introduces readers to the historical backdrop of Salem village and its tumultuous atmosphere fueled by disputes and witchcraft hysteria. We meet Jethro Sands, who grapples with his feelings for Dulcibel, while she faces growing complications in her relationships, particularly with Jethro and his rival, Leah Herrick. As tensions rise, the text hints at the burgeoning witchcraft accusations that will soon envelop the village, showcasing the characters’ interpersonal dynamics against this rapidly unfolding historical drama. This initial glimpse establishes the tone and introduces key players in a narrative that interweaves romance with the treacherous nature of societal fears.
