The House of the Witch by Clare Marchant is a dual timeline novel set in Norfolk. One timeline is set in the present day where Adrianna is escaping to the countryside for a break from the stress of her job and city life. The other is set in 1646 featuring the witch hunts in East Anglia at that time.
Both timelines were equally compelling and I quickly became emotionally invested in the strong characters of Adrianna and Ursula. These two women linked by a cottage, showed strength and resilience in order to face their adversaries.
This was my first time reading a Clare Marchant novel but it will not be the last. I really enjoyed the authors writing style and attention to historical details. My thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with a digital review copy.
