Weyward tells the story of three generations of Weyward women fighting against male aggression while sharing a unique gift - the ability to connect with nature and communicate with animals. The novel follows Altha in 1609, as she tries to survive a witch trial; Violet in 1942, as she uncovers the mysterious death of her mother; and Kate in 2019, as she escapes her home to an inherited cottage.

Emilia Hart's debut novel, Weyward, has been making waves lately, and for good reason. While it may be dark and unsettling at times, with plenty of trigger warnings, it's a powerful story of women navigating a patriarchal society. The novel offers a modern take on feminism, infused with magic and mystery.

Weyward is a puzzle of women discovering their origin story while grappling with societal struggles. I was captivated by the heartfelt, magical, and dark story from start to finish. I highly recommend this novel to anyone seeking a unique and engaging read.
