Produktbeschreibung
In the late 16th century, deep within the isolated village of Blackthorn Hollow, three sisters-Eliza, Margaret, and Anne Blackthorn-are renowned for their ancient healing practices, handed down through generations. Their profound knowledge of herbs and midwifery, however, draws dangerous attention during a time when fear of witchcraft is rampant across Europe. Inspired by real historical events, including the infamous Essex witch trials, the story vividly captures the harrowing trials that the sisters endure after being falsely accused of witchcraft. As the narrative unfolds, the sisters' tragic fate is intertwined with themes of injustice, the persecution of women healers, and the dark power of superstition. Their legacy, however, is far from forgotten. Centuries later, Dr Emily Ward, a historian specialising in witchcraft and midwifery, uncovers the truth behind their story. As she delves into the past, she begins to experience strange occurrences, suggesting that the spirits of the sisters still haunt the village, seeking justice for their wrongful deaths. Richly atmospheric and steeped in historical detail, The Witches of Blackthorn Hollow is a gripping tale of resilience, the quest for truth, and the enduring power of memory. It is a powerful exploration of how the witch trials were used to control and suppress women, particularly those involved in healing and midwifery. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, feminist literature, and supernatural mysteries, this book will captivate readers with its blend of history, folklore, and spine-chilling suspense.
