I was looking for something new to listen to after the fantastic ‘The Last Witch of Scotland’, but despite how great that book was, I absolutely was not looking for another book that was in any way related to witch trials. So of course that’s when I found this gem. It makes me kind of angry as it’s the sort of book I wish I could have written. I loved the interwoven stories of the Weyward women. I thought it was beautiful, and it brought me to tears several times. I will trigger warn for SA and domestic abuse, but I really think everyone who can stomach those things in their literature should read this book. It’s gorgeous. And the audio narration was beautifully done.

Loved the 3 women protagonist and how they linked together through time. Beautifully written and narrated. Couldn't put it down but also didn't want it to end

This was a book club choice and I really enjoyed it . All three characters were interesting and it’s well written. You can’t put it down as you need to know how it turns out for each lady.

I loved the different narrators. It helped me to immerse myself in each era and not get lost when it switched time periods. It was a book I couldn't stop thinking about even when I finished it.
