170 - I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem
Correction: in the episode we say that the book was published in Barbados, but Condé is actually from the island of Guadeloupe - a French department in the Caribbean.

This novel is a fictionalized account of Tituba, an enslaved woman from Barbados who became the first person accused of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials.
