I was looking for something new to listen to after the fantastic ‘The Last Witch of Scotland’, but despite how great that book was, I absolutely was not looking for another book that was in any way related to witch trials. So of course that’s when I found this gem. It makes me kind of angry as it’s the sort of book I wish I could have written. I loved the interwoven stories of the Weyward women. I thought it was beautiful, and it brought me to tears several times. I will trigger warn for SA and domestic abuse, but I really think everyone who can stomach those things in their literature should read this book. It’s gorgeous. And the audio narration was beautifully done.
