Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

A story of women’s courage and defiance in the face of persecution and paranoia. ‘Dunning conjures a world steeped in fear, misogyny, and suspicion which, even in today’s world, feels not entirely alien. This is storytelling at its most compelling: a spellbinding blend of history, witchcraft, realism and resistance. It is, quite simply, Mari Ellis Dunning at her best.’ Natalie Ann Holborow author of Little Universe ‘Astute and atmospheric’ Lucie McKnight Hardy author of Dead Relatives ‘Deeply engrossing and wonderfully unsettling’ Katherine Stansfield author of The Mermaid’s Call ‘Dunning paints a world where belief in magic is entwined in ordinary life, where the line between midwife and enchantress, or swynwraig, is blurred, and where clever women like Doli face danger and violence more frightening than any supernatural power. A must-read.’ Eluned Gramich author of Windstill
