I loved this book! The story is told in three different timelines (1619, 1942 and 2019), with three different women. Their stories are interwoven and involve some witchiness, survival and self-discovery. There is a fair amount of abuse throughout, at the hands of men. (Many trigger warnings.) The message in the story is about the strength of women who, unfortunately, have been abused by men (partners, fathers, doctors, strangers) for centuries.
