Kate, 2019 Kate fugge da un marito violento lasciandosi alle spalle la sua vita a Londra e cercando rifugio in campagna, al Weyward Cottage, ereditato dalla prozia. Le mura di quella vecchia casa custodiscono un segreto, nascosto lì dai tempi della caccia alle streghe. Violet, 1942 L’adolescente Violet è più interessata a collezionare insetti e ad arrampicarsi sugli alberi che a diventare una vera signorina. Finché una catena di eventi sconvolgenti non cambierà per sempre la sua vita. Altha, 1619 Altha è sotto processo per stregoneria, accusata di aver ucciso un uomo del posto. Conosciuta per la sua misteriosa connessione con la natura e gli animali, è una minaccia che deve essere eliminata. Ma le donne Weyward appartengono alla natura selvaggia. E non possono essere addomesticate. Intrecciando tre storie attraverso cinque secoli, Weyward è un avvincente romanzo sulla resilienza femminile.

Review of 'Weyward' on 'Goodreads'

Its a debut that has good writing, great atmosphere, liked the witchy storylines, 3 girls centuries apart, the POVs were not jarring and flowed well together, but I found the storylines not gripping enough, especially Violet's, it was pretty much not a surprise what happened plus kinda depressing at times haha, i like how the family cottage was present in all the storylines and the connexion to nature

Review of 'Weyward' on 'Goodreads'

This is a truly excellent tale and novel. The characters, plot, and historical span are engaging, well researched, and impactful. The themes of abuse, women's rights, love, caring and hope will resonate with most caring and empathetic readers. Although I think that those who abuse others could learn from this tale, I rather doubt they will challenge themselves and their morals by reading it.
