The Dance Tree by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
5.0
In the sweltering summer of 1518, Lisbet finds herself with an uncaring husband, distant mother in law, and a hole in her heart from all her miscarriages. Amidst this time of her grief, her mysterious sister in law returns from her seven year penance in the mountains. As she slowly unravels the truth of her mysterious sin, the nearby city is engulfed in the grip of a dancing plague. In sharing the secret of her pagan sanctuary in the forest, her dancing tree, Lisbet must learn to find her own strength to save her sister in law and best friend from the sinister evil looking to take them all down.
This book touched beautifully on the struggle of women that continues today, but most importantly, about their sacred power. This novel is about women finding their freedom from within. One of my favorite novels I’ve read in a really long time.
