Description
Daughters of the Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt is a powerful and evocative novel that brings to life a pivotal moment in history. Set against the backdrop of the 1612 Pendle witch-hunt, this story follows Bess Southerns, an impoverished widow with a reputation for healing and foretelling, as she tries to survive the hysteria of a witch-hunt. As Bess instructs her granddaughter Alizon in the craft of folk magic, and her best friend turns to dark magic, suspicion and paranoia spread among their community. Sharratt masterfully weaves together historical details with a beautifully imagined tale of strong women, family, and betrayal, creating a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and survival. Through its vivid characters and well-researched historical context, Daughters of the Witching Hill is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to readers interested in historical fiction and stories of women's lives.
