This is a story of strong, unconventional women who discover their power waging their same-but-different battles against the patriarchy (different centuries, same old shit).

Sublime - a beautiful exploration of three women and their deep connection to the natural world and each other.

Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries, Emilia Hart's Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world. The only traces Violet has of her are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom. Straitjacketed by societal convention, she longs for the robust education her brother receives––and for her mother, long deceased, who was rumored to have gone mad before her death. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence for witchcraft is set out against Altha, she knows it will take all of her powers to maintain her freedom.ġ942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. As a girl, Altha’s mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century.ġ619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. 2019: Under cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers.
