REVIEW: Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken
TY @aaknopf for the final copy, this one is out now
A reimagining of Alice Kyteler’s life - written as a way to give Alice her voice back. Alice was a woman accused of witchcraft in Ireland, and as Aitken says in the Notes, if not for this case of witchcraft brought against her, we might not have known she had existed, as like so many women of that time, their perspectives were often lost.
A historical fiction with lyrical prose, this was set up to be a huge success for me, and in some ways it was, but not completely, as I was greedy and wanted more from it.
“To be his wife is to be denied my animal self”
This quote pretty much sums up this novel ^
