![]() ![]() ![]() The Once and Future Witches is the story of three sisters in 1893 New Salem, a place trying to distance itself from the Old Salem whose history is that of witchcraft and burnings. One of my favourite reads of last year was The Ten Thousand Doors of January so I was excited to see Alix E.Harrow had written a new book and jumped at the chance to take part in the blog tour. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote – and perhaps not even to live – the sisters must delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.īut when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women’s movement into the witch’s movement. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. In 1893, there’s no such thing as witches. ![]()
