The book tells the story of three different women across three different centuries as they explore the magic withing themselves. I don’t think the author needed the three stories, as they all felt very similar and it was as if you were reading the same story three different times. I didn’t feel like the characters developed very much just that their circumstances had changed.

This book had a really wonderful way of tying things together. The detailed descriptions made this a very enjoyable read. I don’t understand why there is so much domestic and sexual violence, but I guess that’s what the book is about; finding empowerment in light of very real challenges.

Made me feel such a wide range of emotions throughout. I’ve never seen read such a magical, well-constructed tale of the connection to nature. The “witchcraft” through the family was so interesting because it’s typically depicted with spells but the subtle deep down to connection to nature was so much more powerful. It was so frustrating but real how men’s abuse of power, domestic abuse, and rape was and still is dominating women’s lives. It was hard to keep going and definitely had to take breaks at times when it became too much. A heartbreaking but beautiful, beautiful, beautiful book.
