Weyward is a beautifully written, moving novel about generations of women in a family and their experiences and connections to each other over centuries.
I loved the multitude perspectives, from a girl accused of witchcraft in the 1600s, to a woman in the 1940s, and a young woman in an abusive relationship in 2019. Each of the characters was so well developed and relatable. The slow build towards generational awareness in the more modern timelines and the subtle suggestions of magical realism were so well done.
I think this is great for fans of historical fiction and anyone who loves a story about the witch panic or the power of women.
