A Secret History of Witches: A Novel
Description
A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful
mothers and daughters — witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous
threat and an extraordinary gift. Brittany, 1821. After Grand-Mere Ursule
gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. Even so,
the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered
spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest
daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new
generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it
hidden. But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more
urgently than ever — not for simple potions or visions, but to change the
entire course of history. Praise for A Secret History of Witches: “I loved it.
A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic. . .. Grounded
and real, painful and hopeful at the same time.” —Laure Eve, author of The
Graces “Historical fiction at its absolute finest….Deliciously absorbing.”
—Boston Globe “At once sprawling and intimate, A Secret History of Witches
deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and
daughters.” —Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of The Wolf in the Whale For more
