The Silver Witch
The Silver Witch: A Novel | Paula Brackston
A year after her husband's sudden death, ceramic artist Tilda Fordwells finally moves into the secluded Welsh cottage that was to be their new home. She hopes that the tranquil surroundings will help ease her grief, and lessen her disturbing visions of Mat's death. Instead, the lake in the valley below her cottage seems to spark something dormant in her a sensitivity, and a power of some sort. Animals are drawn to her, electricity shorts out when she's near, and strangest of all, she sees a new vision; a boatful of ancient people approaching her across the water. On this same lake in Celtic times lived Seren, a witch and shaman. She was respected but feared, kept separate from the community for her strange looks. When a vision came to her of the Prince amid a nest of vipers she warned of betrayal from one of his own. Prince Brynach both loved and revered her, but could not believe someone close to him wished him harm, even as the danger grew. In her own time, Tilda's grief begins to fade beside her newfound powers and a fresh love. When she explores the lake's ancient magic and her own she discovers Seren, the woman in her vision of the boat. Their two lives strangely mirror each other's, suggesting a strong connection between the women. As Tilda comes under threat from a dark power, one reminiscent of Seren's prophecy, she must rely on Seren and ancient magic if death and disaster are not to shatter her life once more.

I swear Brackston has this beautiful, poetic mastery of the English language. While her books are often set in modern times, there‘s this old world, historical feel about her writing that is just beautiful. Basically, reading one of her books makes me feel like an adult. I think I still prefer The Witch‘s Daughter over this one, but it‘s also just a good book. I love Brackston‘s stories of natural witches. Plus this one had a ghost!

Anyone read either of these? If so, your thoughts? They weren‘t super popular books when I bought them. Had them for a few years now and haven‘t read them. So many other shiny new books came out and took my attention away. The quarantine has me reading books that have been waiting for me on my shelves.

Meh. I was underwhelmed. The story was good enough, but I was increasingly annoyed by the awkward and unpolished writing. At times I felt I was reading mediocre fan fiction, rather than a published work. Disappointed.

Perfectly paired with the slow, rich journey through 10th and 21st Century Wales I‘ve been on this weekend, reading The Silver Witch by Paula Brackston.

The Silver Witch, by Paula Brackston, takes place in the Powys region of Wales, an area known for its ruggedly beautiful and veritably mystical landscape, which she captures beautifully. Brackston's even hand and natural story telling talent make for an enjoyable read, perfect for a cold winter night spent by the fire. https://booktrekker.wordpress.com/2018/01/31/the-silver-witch-by-paula-brackston...

I've been trying to spend as many mornings as I can in bed reading before my season officially starts and and my free time diminishes. I've been pulling from my shelves and not buying new books. Hoping to get a good chunk of my unread books completed this year.

This is next up!
