Weyward is the beautiful story of three women, one in 1619, one in the 1940s, and one in modern day England, who are related.   It tells the individual stories of each woman and hardships they faced but also weaves their story together in a beautiful way.   This story reminded me a little of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue because of the magical realism and lovely writing but I thought this story had better focus.  And even though it was shorter, I felt that it told each woman's story adequately.   I split my time between the physical copy and the audiobook.   I loved the audiobook version and hearing the gorgeous lilt of the different English accents.   Very well done.    This is probably one of the best books I have read this year.  I highly recommend it!

"He was a man, after all. He had no reason to think he would not be believed."

I'm on a mission to read all the books I can about witchcraft in order to have the deepest understanding of the causes of the persecution of females, many of whom were often simply introverts, healers, and odd in some way, for centuries. These stories also help me feel more connected with my kind. 

The positives...fast-paced, good writing, empowering. 

The negatives...formulaic, totally predictable. 

There's a chance I'll remember it over time, but an equal chance I won't. Either way, I'm very glad I read it, especially because it's helped me further my mission.

2.0

Un llibre que parla de tres dones en períodes històrics diferents i que són maltractades sistemàticament per homes de les maneres més horribles (i descrites amb detall) que podries imaginar. 

De la meitat del llibre cap endavant m'ha generat molta ansietat el detall en la descripció de violències absolutament innecessàries per l'avanç de la trama. Crec que té moltíssims detonants que no ajuran a que molta gent pugui gaudir d'aquesta lectura.

El realisme màgic que es troba a la novel·la m'ha semblat el més interessant.
