Female power written in the most poetic way. I’ll be thinking about this for a while.

🪶This wildness inside us gives us our name. It was men who marked us so, in the time when language was but a shoot curling from the earth.

A story spanning centuries through the perspective of three different women. Altha (1619) on trial for witchcraft, Violet (1942) living in Orton hall with her brother and brute of a Father, and Kate (2019) escaping the clutches of a abusive relationship. All three women discover the power that runs through thier veins while overcoming hardships at the hands of the patriarchy.

I found this book in a book shop in ullapool while on holiday with the in laws. I've seen raving reviews which landed it on my TBR so I was excited to see if it lived up to the hype.
My God did this book do that! I was hooked from the first page.
The vivid descriptions enchanted me on every page, I felt as if I was there with these women. Feeling thier rage, heart break , grief and joy.
Such a powerful story of power in the connection between women. Emilia has tackled some really difficult subjects in a way that is both respectful but gives justices to how heavy they are.
Truly gripping.

This book gave me all the feelings. Allowing me to confront past abuse that I have been through (though much of theirs is very different from mine) and feeling the empowerment of those who've come before me and found healing in the natural world. Checking content warnings is a must for this book as it definitely covers a lot of very dark and hard to think about topics. The resilience of women and the story of this family of women breaking free of generational trauma and always helping the future generations was beautifully woven.
