Really enjoyed this. I felt so much angst for Abatha through the whole story. It's so difficult to be othered. The last 30% of the book was intense and frustrating in a riveting way.

Wow, I love books from this era but this one in particular made me feel so many emotions. 
I was SOOOO upset with the village and their attitudes toward Abi because she’s wasn’t a perfect godly woman. And when they turned on Sarah????? UGH. 
I also liked the supernatural aspect and how it explored different religions. It was very intriguing.

Female rage in the face of misogyny

mswarbrick's review against another edition

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

A creepy, Gothic, horror story rich with mythology and interwoven with a healthy dose of female rage (and revenge). Definitely not for the faint of heart but oh so deliciously creepy!
