emilyisoverbooked 's review for:
The Witch of Tin Mountain
by Paulette Kennedy
Thanks to Lake Union Publishing and Let's Talk Books Promo for the copy of this book!
A witch book in February? Yes please! The Witch of Tin Mountain is a witchy spin on Depression-era Arkansas with flashbacks to the generations of the past. In a superstitious town, Gracelynn uses natural cures from a family book to heal, but when a traveling evangelist, Josiah Bellflower, comes to town, he quickly gets the town on his side and the whispers of witchcraft begin again. The town has been through this before: blaming witchcraft for the evil present and natural disasters that occur, and I enjoyed watching the familiar storyline play out across the generations. The feminist storyline was well done mixed in with the historical fiction and witch vibes, and I think this is going to be on a lot of reading lists come October!
Read if you like:
- generational stories
