After going down a rabbit hole of apocalyptic fiction I needed a palate cleanser. Admittedly, I had no idea what this book was about and I chose it solely for its cover. It's not brainfood by any means, but that's perfectly fine. 

It's the story of three related women from different centuries; Kate is the modern era, Violet is from the 20th century and Altha is from the 1600's. All three are deeply connected to the natural world and, although witches and witchcraft aren't specifically named, they are an underlining theme. Not really my cup of tea, but the storytelling was good enough to keep me interested.

Each chapter is told by a different character through her own voice. Emilia Hart does a fair job with this writing style, but the individual voices of the three women was sometimes not apparent. I also had problems with the backstory for Kate. It wasn't necessary to go into so much detail regarding the abuse she suffered at the hands of her domineering partner. 

This is Hart's debut novel and overall I was entertained enough to keep an eye out for her next book.
