Fleetwood Shuttleworth is pregnant, she has found out her doctor has warned her husband that she will not survive childbirth, yet her husband, desperate for an heir, has hidden this piece of information from her.
Under mysterious circumstances Fleetwood meets a strange woman, Alice Grey. Convinced that Alice can help her carry and deliver a healthy baby she employs her as her midwife.
All around them women are being accused of witchcraft, Alice Grey among the accused.

Although it has an interesting premise, a beautiful cover and good writing, I found this book to be a little slow and I could not really get behind the characters.
It started strong but lost me about halfway. A little too long with not much going on.

100% a new favouirte author, and i now really like historical fiction?!

Surprisingly i enjoyed this more than Mrs England, but i love them both. I just enjoyed Fleetwood so much as a main character - her strength, cunning and kindness. I really loved the dynamic between her and Alice.

I love Stacey Hall's writing so much, it's so captivating and easy-to-read, rich and descriptive without being too flowery and too much. Her plots are always fantastic and her characters too, each very complex and well-rounded.

I had so much fun reading this and am sad it's ended, probably a new favourite book of mine too.

This book was incredible. It weaves a tale that skirts the line between mundane and magic, and had me hanging on every word until the very end.

Je m’attendais pas à être embarquée par le livre comme ça. Mon seul regret :
que la magie d’Alice ne soit pas explicitée plus que ça, pareil pour le lien entre sorcière et familier
