Despite the past, the sudden appearance and disappearance of this tower is the catalyst that bring the Eastwood sisters back together, striving for a new life, a better life, for women, a life where women are witches, and as powerful as they once were. Out of nowhere, a tower, surrounded by roses and ivy, appears in the square, with the wrong constellations in the night sky. George's Square, where the Women's Association are holding a rally, trying to draw more women to their cause. On the night of the Spring Equinox 1893, the three meet again when they are all inexplicably drawn to St. Juniper is running to somewhere new, trying to escape Agnes is a millworker, working long hours, keeping everyone at a distance Bella is a librarian, books and words more a home to her than the room she lives in. the Eastwood sisters James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna have not seen each other or had any contact for the past seven years, due to an abusive father and overwhelming betrayal.
In a world where magic is all but gone, where the witches of the past were burned, where witchcraft is illegal, with women only knowing small, harmless spells, shared down the generations through stories and nursery rhymes, where women have next to no rights. Harrow sounded right up my street when I first heard of it, but I didn't realise just how incredible it was going to be! Rep: Disabled protagonist lesbian protagonist Black, lesbian main character, trans woman secondary character, Native American secondary characters.
Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote-and perhaps not even to live-the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.īut when the Eastwood sisters-James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna-join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.
There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches.
