Reviews
"Blistering. . . . Beguiling. . . . A fiercely intelligent and often surprising examination of a woman''s choices and their consequences." -- Publishers Weekly "Molly Aitken gives a powerful voice to Alice Kyteler, weaving a haunting and lyrical story from the strands of history. This was a beautiful, fascinating novel about an extraordinary woman that will linger in readers'' memories for a long time after they finish it." --Jennifer Saint, author of Atalanta "Aitken''s vivid prose cuts with an edge as sharp as Alice herself." -- Booklist "An astonishing second novel after her brilliant debut, Molly Aitken takes Alice Kyteler--the first woman condemned as a witch in Ireland--and breathes life into a woman as gentle as a candle''s flame, and as destructive as an inferno. Lyrical and wildly imaginative, readers will love and fear Alice in equal measure and remember her story long after they''ve finished the last page." --Megan Barnard, author of Jezebel "An incredible medieval life rendered in incandescent flashes." -- Kirkus Reviews "Complex and heartbreaking. . . . Quick-moving yet immersive. . . . The author''s prowess in character building helps bring Alice''s story to life." -- BookPage "This is lustrous elemental writing, full of rich earth, smouldering flames and roiling waters--which left me gasping for air. It consumed me like a fire." --Katie Hale, author of The Edge of Solitude "Exciting and triumphant . . . There''s poetry here, in this lyrical, deeply human, fiercely feminist story. A book that burns brighter than even its title suggests." --Nydia Hetherington, author of A Girl Made of Air "Aitken''s beguiling lyricism reminds us of the deeper truths that linger in the shadows of the riverbank, at the edge of the woods." --Karen Powell, author of Fifteen Wild Decembers "Bright, bold and riotous . . . The prose is distinct and memorable from an author who is unafraid to breathe life and humanity into history and legend." --Sophie Parkes, author of Out of Human Sight "A story of power and destruction, that surprised me at every turn . . . We need narratives like these, which bring the past to life in new ways and challenge us to think differently about women and their influence." --India Rakusen, producer "Extraordinary . . . Some of the best prose I''ve read." --Elaine Feeney, author of How to Build a Boat "A gorgeous, blazing novel, that makes history crackle to life. Fans of Maggie O''Farrell''s Hamnet or A.K. Blakemore''s The Manningtree Witches will love Aitken''s complex, sensual anti-heroine." --Clare Pollard, author of Delphi "A lushly fevered tale of marriage, murder and moneylending . . . Haunting and powerful." --Jane Healey, author of The Beantown Girls "An incandescent story, ablaze with the passion and determination of a woman centuries ahead of her time." --Polly Crosby, author of The Book of Hidden Wonders "Spellbinding . . . A stunning rendition of one fierce Irish woman''s voice pitted against the patriarchal power constructs of Medieval Ireland." --Anya Bergman, author of The Witches of Vardø "Aitken is a distinct, singular, stunning voice in historical fiction, and Bright I Burn is a triumph. It took my breath away." --Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days "I was captivated. Every sentence reads like poetry. A stunning, magical, beguiling book." --Huma Qureshi, author of Playing Games "Beautifully told, full of passion and fire, Aitken evokes a vivid sense of time and place through her powerful depiction of a woman determined to maintain her position in a society driven by men. Stunning." --Jenny Quintana, author of Missing Girl "Darkly atmospheric, this beautiful novel transported me straight to Medieval Ireland." --Haleh Agar, author of Out of Touch "Gripping, poetic, a glorious story of a remarkable woman''s passion and her revenge." --Louisa Reid, author of The Poet, "Molly Aitken gives a powerful voice to Alice Kyteler, weaving a haunting and lyrical story from the strands of history.
