Weyward
About This Book
In 2019, Kate leaves London and everything in it behind, moving north to Cumbria. She has inherited Weyward Cottage from a great-aunt she barely knew, and the house conceals a secret that has been buried in its very foundations since the witch-hunts of the seventeenth century. In 1942, Violet would much rather spend her days hunting for insects and scrambling up trees than learn to be a polite young lady. A run of startling incidents is about to upend her existence completely. In 1619, Altha stands trial for witchcraft, accused of killing a man from her community. Her unusual bond with the natural world and its creatures has made her seem dangerous to those in authority, who are determined to remove her. Interwoven across five centuries, the three narratives follow women of the Weyward line, who are, by their nature, creatures of the wild and cannot be made tame. The novel explores female endurance and the transformative force of the natural world.
