Description
The Witching Tide by Margaret Meyer is a powerful and psychologically astute novel set in 17th-century England. In the autumn of 1645, a sinister newcomer arrives in the seaside village of Cleftwater, bringing with him a deadly witch hunt that will claim many innocent lives. Martha, a midwife and healer, finds herself caught between suspicion and betrayal as local women are detained and accused of witchcraft. As Martha is forced to search the accused women for "devil's marks," she revives a wax witching doll that belonged to her mother, in the hope that it will bring protection. But the doll's true powers are unknowable, and Martha harbors a terrible secret. The gallows loom, and the fate of the village hangs in the balance. This immersive literary debut delivers powerful insights into the exigencies of friendship and the nature of loyalty, heralding the arrival of a striking new voice in fiction.
