The Famine Witch by Stephen Black

4.0

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for a review.

The Famine Witch is a book set in Belfast in 1847 in a time called ‘The Great feminine’ or ‘Black 47’

I quite love reading books that are historical fiction and this one was no exception. The authour has done a really good job writing about the historical event and I really enjoyed reading and learning about this historical event.

This book is atmospheric, in credit for its heavy usage of descriptions. Every word strings beautifully together, not leaving the most minute of details to chance and perfectly encapsulating the ambiance of the setting

While I mostly enjoyed reading this book, I did sometimes feel like I had to stop reading and take a break to focus.

I’d overall rate this book a four out of five stars. It’s a great book and I think a lot of people will enjoy this.
