The White Witch of Rosehall is a striking and curious story set in the early nineteenth-century West Indies. Robert Rutherford is sent to the islands to learn the planter's business and becomes an overseer at Rosehall, the property of a young widow, Mrs. Palmer. Mrs. Palmer's three husbands have all died in mysterious circumstances. The plot unfolds as Rutherford faces the widow's unusual affection, the challenges posed by his half-caste housekeeper Millicent, and the clash of magical practices, including Obeah rites and spells.
