'A spellbinding story about what may transpire when the natural world collides with a legacy of witchcraft.'
—Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary

'Narrators Aysha Kala, Helen Keeley, and Nell Barlow are a magical, moving trio. Their emotional and expressive performance of the parallel narratives ranges from touching and timid to tense and twisting.'- Library Journal

I am a Weyward, and wild inside.

2019: Under cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great aunt she barely remembers. With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century.

1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. 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. 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.

1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. 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. 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.

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.

Amazing!!

Profile Avatar Louise M. Mar 2026

Sweet story depicting how our lives ripple out to affect in significant and meaningful ways, whether we are conscious of it or not. Narrators were good, although the narration for the character, Altha, was sometimes too low in volume. without turning it way up.

Fantastic!! Skillful movement-never a dull moment!!

I found this to be a great read. I loved the stark contrasts between the three main characters and how they all came together at the end (of course they’re all related and it discusses that throughout the story) but it captures it more so towards the very end! I loved how all three female protagonists stood their ground and were unapologetically themselves as well, especially in three eras where women were (and continue to be) looked at as the lesser than sex.

Loved everything about this book.

Profile Avatar Rundonna Jun 2025

Amazing read. I loved all three main characters. I wish it was a series so I could spend more time with them! I will listen to this one again

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

An entertaining book about the empowerment of women. My chief complaint and the reason I gave it 3 stars is that almost all the male characters are insensitive, manipulative, or physically abusive to women.

Profile Avatar Robert S. Mar 2025

Great story with strong characters. I liked the book so much I was a little sad when it ended.

Profile Avatar LDoone Mar 2025

Loved that this was read by three different people.

Profile Avatar Stephanie K. Jun 2024

4.5 stars, I loved this book and really enjoyed reading it. It was a female forward, empowering book without being over the top. Just enough magic in it to make it interesting, but still well written enough to not feel childish.

Profile Avatar Susan C. Apr 2024
