? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-
You can findhistory, witchcraft, and nature in Weyward by Emilia Hart. This novel spans across centuries following the lives of three different women with a special connection to an unknown power rooted in the land.
In 2019, Kate escapes to an inherited cottage and discovers her ties to seventeenth century witch hunts. Meanwhile, Altha awaits trial in 1619 as women who don’t succumb to social expectations often are at the time. All the while, Violet lives during 1942 amidst World War II fighting for an education and mourning the loss of her mother.
Centuries apart but connected nonetheless, these women all have something in common. They may not fully understand it, but they each have the potential to tap into the natural world and unleash its unknown powers through their own resilience.
This was a clever debut by the author who has tapped into a market that readers ravenously crave. She manages to weave in the elements of magic and history together in a perfect balance where there is not too much fantasy for those who aren’t into that sort of thing or too much fact for a fiction book.
