Excessively distressing
Self congratulatory, excessively obscure, language. Relentlessly grim. Glacial pace. A cast of unsympathetic characters. Often stomach-churning. On the plus side, presumably of some interest if you’re from the area and does cast light on the treatment of women. But a distressing read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A novel of realistic witches
I read a review of this book in the Times Literary Supplement, and was intrigued. Not so much for the subject matter as the mood, the atmosphere, the period of history, 17th, in which there was great tumult and almost a hysteria around witches. The tale is more of women's limited choices, how poverty grinds and how the hardships of life can warp a mentality or outlook. There are no real witches here, of course, but men's power and control, and how women have to live alongside it and operate within it. The atmosphere of the novel is dank and oppressive, with a sense of the limits of a life and a community. It is beautifully written, very poetic and lyrical throughout much of the novel. A K Blakemore is most definitely a 'writer's writer', but that is not to denigrate her storytelling abilities. A novel I would recommend thoroughlyVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
