Event Description

In 2019, Kate flees an abusive relationship. Her destination is Weyward Cottage in a remote Cumbrian village, inherited from her great Aunt Violet, an eccentric entomologist. As Kate struggles with the trauma of her past, she uncovers a secret about the women in her family. A secret dating back to 1619, when her ancestor Altha Weyward was put on trial for witchcraft.

Interweaving the stories of three women across history, Weyward is a bewitching debut novel about gender and control. Join author Emilia Hart for a celebration of nature, female power and breaking free.
