About this listen

1612 saw one of the largest and well-documented witch hunts in England. To the people of Pendle, Demdike is a name both scorned and feared. Matriarch or monster, they only see an impoverished hag.

At her age, Demdike knows she should be long in her grave, but with mouths to feed she hasn't the luxury of rest. Trained in the cunning arts, she uses her craft to help others, but not all look favourably on her gift.

When the Justice of the Peace arrives in Pendle, Demdike soon realises the whispers of witches are spreading, and they're focused on her. Between herself and her long-time frenemy "Chattox" can the two wise women ensure their bloodlines survive? Even if they know they won't.

A captivating and beautifully descriptive story that pulls you in from the start. The rich detail makes it easy to feel fully immersed, especially for readers interested in witchcraft and herbalism. It explores themes of fear, judgment, and individuality in a powerful way. A must-listen for anyone who loves folklore and strong, unconventional female perspectives.

I am always up for any book about witches/ witchcraft. This book has moved to the top of my list! Once I started listening to it I could stop. The author uses such descriptive details placing the audience right into the book. As someone who practices herbalism this book just spoke volumes to me. I could relate to the fears of religious persons and the feeling of being a pariah. If you want a story of womanly deviance and folklore then you won't want to miss this!
