Weyward: A Novel | Emilia Hart
post image

This book was incredible! I read it in 2 days. Plus, it is beautiful
It follows three women in different time periods who all have a connection with nature.
Kate, in 2019, runs from her abusive boyfriend to a cottage her great aunt left her.
Altha, 1619, is awaiting trial for witchcraft.
Violet, 1942, is being forced to act like a lady when she just wants to talk to bugs and become a scientist.

This blistering debut by Emilia Hart delves into the history of three Weyward women over three different time periods. Altha in 1619; Violet in 1942 and finally Kate in 2019. The narrative flits between each woman's story with glimpses back to the past and the echos the previous Weyward women leave on the next generation. An utterly spellbinding, captivating story with exceptional characters.

On a separate note, the nature writing that forms the background to these women's lives is outstanding, very similar to Barbara Kingsolver's style of writing. Hart has an evocative style that heightens the senses. I imagine this would be a brilliant audiobook.
Trigger warning - there are some scenes of domestic abuse, coercive control and rape.
