Weyward by Emilia Hart
5.0
I knew I was going to love this book as soon as I saw that it was told through three perspectives spanning five centuries. Then there were witches? Like I said, I was in love with the synopsis, and I was not disappointed.
It’s 2019 and Kate is fleeing an abusive boyfriend. She ends up at Weyward cottage which was left to her by her great aunt she barely remembers. She begins to suspect her aunt had a secret and sets out to uncover it.
In 1619 Altha is awaiting trial for murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his cows. She’s accused of being a witch. The deck is stacked against her when she is put on trial.
1942, as the great war rages, Violet is trapped by her overbearing father. Her mother is dead, and she’s been told a lie her entire life of when she did. When her cousin on leave from the war, takes what he wants from her, she is cast to a small cottage where she lives the rest of her life.
This book guys, it is so good! I loved all three storylines and finding out how they intersected. I was so invested in the characters, I felt connected to Kate right from the get-go. I have been in abusive relationships, and it just helped me relate to her plight.
This one isn’t out until March 7th, but you should definitely do yourself a favor and get it pre-ordered now. It is so beautiful and well done you won’t want to miss it. Thank you thank you thank you to @netgalley and the publisher, @stmartinspress, for my advanced e-arc in exchange for this honest review.
