The once and future witches av Alix E Harrow

 

In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.

But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.

There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.

Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Adlibris.

Detta var en intressant bok, då även om den handlade om kvinnor med magiska krafter, häxor så var det även en suffragat- feministikst tema på den, med kvinnor som kämpar att få ha kontroll över sitt liv likadnat som männen har.

Sen blev den så mycket mera om gott mot ont i slutet och jag funderade hur det skulle sluta ju mera jag läste av den, för den verkade rätt mörk så jag hade funderingar på hur "lycklgit" den skulle sluta, och den höll hela vägen igenom tycker jag.
