Widdershins by Helen Steadman
5.0
This is based on real-life events of the 1650 witch trial in Newcastle. I never realised this until I finished the book. I love reading books about witch trials and knowing that these actually happened makes it even better.
I listened to this on audio and love the narrator and her accent.
this is told in alternative chapters of Jane and John. John’s mother died in childbirth and he went to live with the woman who delivered him, who his dad claimed was a witch. When John is older he also believes this and starts a vendetta against her.
Jane lives with her mum who uses herbs etc for healing. She has a partner and becomes pregnant, but he dies before they can marry.
I really enjoyed this so much. John made me so mad and it is totally unbelievable how people actually thought these people were witches for doing the smallest thing. I just loved it! a massive 5/5 stars for me.
Can’t wait to listen to the second book in this series.
