A thought-provoking period piece

Set in 1661 among Puritan colonists of America, An Unclean Act by Dean Burgess is an engaging and deftly written novel about religious intolerance, and conflicts between men and women of the pioneer era. Painting an unembellished picture of how life truly was, An Unclean Act follows the story of Thomas Burge, a man trapped in a loveless marriage, whose affair with another woman is considered "unclean" by community standards. An Unclean Act is recommended as being a thought-provoking period piece.
