Title: Now She is Witch: ‘Myth-making at its best‘ Val McDermid Author: Kirsty Logan Narrator: Kirsty Logan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: January 12, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Some of what they say about witches is true. She dug her mother's grave in the poison garden so it would stay hidden... Lux has lost everything when Else finds her, alone in the woods. Her family, her lover, her home - all burned. The world is suspicious of women like her, neither maiden nor mother. But Lux is cunning; she knows how to exploit people's expectations, how to blend into the background. And she knows a lot about poisons. Else has not found Lux by accident. She needs her help to seek revenge against the man who wronged her, and together they pursue him north. But on their hunt they will uncover dark secrets that entangle them with dangerous adversaries. From the snowy winter woods to the bright midnight sun; from the horrors of plague to the relief of healing; from lost and powerless to finding your path, Now She is Witch questions the oppositions that shadow our lives. In rich and immersive prose Kirsty Logan conjures a world of violence and beauty in which women grasp at power through witchcraft and poisons, through sexuality and childbearing, through performance and pretence, and most of all through throwing other women to the wolves. This is a witch story unlike any other. © Kirsty Logan 2023 (P) Penguin Audio 2023
