" Weyward spans three women's lives in three different centuries, connected by blood and one very unique gift. The writing's beautiful, the women are wonderful, and each narrative is as compelling as the next. Alive, vivid, gripping. Real magic." --Abigail Dean, New York Times bestselling author of Girl A "Scuttling with insects and dripping with dark magic, this book got its claws into me and simply refused to let go. An astonishingly accomplished debut, it is beguiling, absorbing and exquisitely rendered, with prose as finely-crafted as a dragonfly's wing. With Weyward , Emilia Hart bursts onto the literary scene with a howl of feminist rage." --Lizzie Pook, author of Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter "Hart evokes a powerful sense of place in each of the narratives, and elicits mystery and a rich atmosphere at every turn. A brave and original debut, Weyward is a spellbinding story about what may transpire when the natural world collides with a legacy of witchcraft ." --Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary "A very poignant story of female endurance and hidden power, humming with a sly, exhilarating magic.

    Magic, mystery, strong female Characters

    I had loaned this to my DIL and she sold it at her yard sale. Argh. Had to get another for my library! A little magic, a little mystery, and lots of strong women!
