I loved this book. Set vividly in York, both present and past if transported me back to the city I love and fit perfectly into my current obsession with the history of witchcraft. Flicking between past and present you saw the way history can repeat itself. You empathised with both Hawise and Grace, I was gripped to know how it would end and satisfied by the dramatic conclusion. It helped that I read this in the sunshine on the riverbank in seville.
