This book is an inner generational story of a family of women witches as they attempt to integrate into English society, while remaining true to their family legacy. The story takes place across multiple centuries, and provide social commentary on the place of women, the place of minorities, especially Roma minorities.

Loved this-finished in 2 days! Loved the setting of the plot against the flow of ‘real world’ history. Beautiful writing, complex characters, fabulous depiction of the complicated relationship between mothers/daughters. Interesting exploration of destiny versus self determined and the choices we make echoing the past.
