Does evil lurk in the shadows of the forest or within the human heart? Eduardo Sangarcía’s tale of one woman’s trial opens the door to deeper horrors.

Anna Thalberg is a villager shunned for her red hair and provocative beauty, so when she is dragged from her home and accused of witchcraft, her neighbors do not intervene. Only Klaus, her husband, and Father Friedrich, a priest experiencing a crisis of faith, set out to Würzburg to prove her innocence. There, locked in a prison tower, Anna faces isolation and torture while anxiety builds over strange happenings within the city walls. Can the two men convince the Church inquisitors to release Anna, or will she burn at the stake?

The Trial of Anna Thalberg is a tale of religious persecution, superstition, and suffering during the Protestant Reformation. While mapping the medieval fear of occultism and demons, it delves into enduring human concerns: the oppression of women, the inhumanity of institutions, and the question of God’s existence. Frantic in pace and experimental in form, this is an unforgettable debut from Mexican author Eduardo Sangarcía.

Eduardo Sangarcía is the author of the short story collection El desconocido del Meno, which was awarded the prestigious Premio Nacional de Cuento Joven Comala 2017, and of the novel The Trial of Anna Thalberg, winner of the Mauricio Achar Award 2020. Sangarcía lives in Guadalajara and is studying for a Ph.D. in Humanities with a specialization on Latin American literature of the Holocaust. Elizabeth Bryer is a translator and writer from Australia. Her translations include María José Ferrada’s How to Order the Universe and How to Turn into a Bird; Claudia Salazar Jiménez’s Americas Prize-winning Blood of the Dawn; and Aleksandra Lun’s The Palimpsests, for which she was awarded a PEN/Heim Translation Fund grant. Her debut novel, From Here On, Monsters, was co-winner of the 2020 Norma K. Hemming award.
