Three stories. Three women. One family with a magical connection and a history of healing people and dealing with abusive men.
This book was a perfect mid-October read.

This book follows three different generations of women through separate timelines. Each are, unfortunately, relatable in their own way.

At times the story reads like three separate thrillers as you want to know the outcome for each of the women.

Whilst not necessarily feminist literature this book does highlight the power women hold and how this is only intensified when women are united. A beautifully written book that can easily be enjoyed, despite its heavy content.

3.0

Weyward is a book about the Weyward family throughout the generations. However, whilst reading it, you realise that these women bond over the abusive men in their life more than anything else which I found to be an odd choice. For was this book about how men from the past and present don't change or about how women who are deemed as odd are called witches? The latter was somewhat outshined by the former, unfortunately.

Not spooky witches. More about women and their connection to each other and nature, so if you’re looking for Halloween vibes, this isn’t it.
