This book was a delight to read from start to finish. Fairytales twined with history, and the struggle of women to gain equal footing in a world that burns them at every turn. It has been a while since I read a story that bridged the gap between fantasy and reality so realistically I could taste it.

I don't think I have read a novel about witches since I was a child and this felt really nostalgic to me. We follow three sisters who have been separated for 7 years become reunited through witchcraft and suffrage. The novel is visceral, dark, atmospheric and really depicts the time and place well. I felt I could see the sisters in my mind, the place, the writing is so descriptive, I do think it would make a wonderful TV series.
It combines the fantasy and the historical elements well. It takes place in our world there's references to the Pankhurts, the Salem witch trials, racism, slavery and homophobia play a prevalent part and I think the author's very clever in the way it's our world but there's witches, familiars, ghosts and monsters.
I did love these characters - there's the academic sister, the sensible working sister and the wild child. There's a lot of supporting characters, there's romance, motherhood, friendship, sisterhood. This is a long novel but it really hit all the elements of a good novel for me.
