![]() Now something has brought the three sisters together again. Seven years earlier, Agnes and Bella left home, abandoning Juniper and stranding her with their abusive, alcoholic father. This is the story of the three Eastwood sisters: James Juniper, the youngest, who is on the run after killing her father Agnes Amaranth, the middle sister, who finds herself pregnant and is contemplating abortion and Beatrice Belladonna, the eldest, who works for the Salem College Library in the town of New Salem. Harrow has charmed me with her gorgeous prose and uncanny ability to take elements of history and truth and twist them into something completely new. This book was not what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. It’s about the magical thread of sisterhood that binds us together. ![]() It’s a story about hidden spells and the power of stories. This is a story about witches, sisters, friends. The Once and Future Witches is a love letter to women everywhere, a call to arms, a promise that women have the power within themselves to be more than they are, more than men want them to be. If ever there was a time for this book, that time is now. “A witch is merely a woman who needs more than she has.” The nitty-gritty: A lively and compelling feminist story about grit and determination, sisterhood, and the hidden power of stories. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ![]() ![]() ![]() I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
