Beskrivelse
"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 I am a Weyward, and wild inside. 2019: Under cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers. With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century. 1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. As a girl, Altha's mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence for witchcraft is set out against Altha, she knows it will take all of her powers to maintain her freedom. 1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. Straitjacketed by societal convention, she longs for the robust education her brother receives--and for her mother, long deceased, who was rumored to have gone mad before her death. The only traces Violet has of her are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom. Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries, Emilia Hart's Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world.

Bogen langtrukken, og har umiddelbart kun det budskab at mænd som helhed er nogle modbydelige bæster som vækker heksen i dig så du kan gøre dem skade som hævn fordi de har fortjent det. Forbindelsen mellem kvinderne i bogen er tynd, og de fremstår desværre som clichéer.

Fantastik bog, utrolig velskrevet, indlevende og smuk. En stærk bog om kvinders liv gennem forskellige tidsaldre. Citat: “the connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet”. Min varmeste anbefaling.

Fremragende og gribende. Godt skruet sammen. Og også gode oplæsere.

Virkelig god bog om tre (stærke) kvinder i tre forskellige tidsaldre. Om kærlighed, venskab, ondskab og hekseri.. Gode oplæsere. Fin detalje med forskellig oplæser for hver kvinde og tidsalder.
