"A brave and original debut, Weyward is a spellbinding story about what may transpire when the natural world collides with a legacy of witchcraft." ––Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary

I am a Weyward, and wild inside.

2019: Under cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers. With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century.

1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. As a girl, Altha’s mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence for witchcraft is set out against Altha, she knows it will take all of her powers to maintain her freedom.

1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. Straitjacketed by societal convention, she longs for the robust education her brother receives––and for her mother, long deceased, who was rumored to have gone mad before her death. The only traces Violet has of her are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom.

Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries, Emilia Hart's Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world.

很好看，三代任务故事线交叉进行，情节很引人入胜。只是没有意识到故事是有些奇幻色彩的，还是期望能看到一些现实世界中女性挣脱锁链，找寻自我的故事。

感觉三个女性人物的自救之路和后续情节发展都没有立住 Kate从控制狂男友手中逃跑到了姑奶奶留给自己的乡村小屋一点点感受贴近未曾谋面的血亲从灰扑扑的故事里映射出来的另一位女性Violet的故事爱自然爱学习的她被剥夺所有对弟弟来讲却是理所应当的权利逐渐揭露17世纪Weyward家另一位因有疗愈能力要接受女巫审判的Altha的故事这种闪闪发光的女性故事我是喜欢的但是几代人之间丝丝缕缕关系的那种宿命感和作者想要制造出Kate解谜一样的悬疑感都..有点无聊吧

I’d say it’s an interesting story in the first part, but sadly ended up with a boring ending. It’s quite obvious that the author had a great ambition on the female topic, while she seems to lack the capability to realize her ambition. The story relates few to the reality, remaining to be a normal fiction book on three women.
