THERE IS POWER IN SILENCE East Anglia, 1645. Martha Hallybread, a midwife, healer and servant, has lived peacefully for more than four decades in her beloved Cleftwater. Everyone in the village knows Martha, but no one has ever heard her speak. One bright morning, Martha becomes a silent witness to a witch hunt, led by sinister new arrival Silas Makepeace. As a trusted member of the community, she is enlisted to search the bodies of the accused women for evidence. But whilst she wants to help her friends, she also harbours a dark secret that could cost her own freedom. In desperation, Martha revives a wax witching doll that she inherited from her mother, in the hope that it will bring protection. But the doll's true powers are unknowable, the tide is turning, and time is running out . . . A spellbinding and intoxicating novel inspired by true events, The Witching Tide is a magnificent debut from a writer to watch. 'A beautiful, haunting and utterly transporting novel that takes the reader back to a terrifyingly real witching England' NAOMI WOOD 'I absolutely devoured The Witching Tide. To read this book is to step inside time . . . a powerful, riveting read, each sentence pristine and haunting' ELIZABETH MACNEAL

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝗪𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐞 by 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐫 is richly atmospheric & terrifyingly realistic. Inspired by 17th century witch hunts, this searing historical fiction eerily parallels contemporary issues -- paranoia, misogyny, feminine power, gossip, mob mentality, & revenge. A complexly ambiguous mute woman questions her beliefs, struggling to save herself & other wrongfully accused women. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘d call this more a creative essay than a novel. The story moves slowly & the author invests a lot of time in descriptions, historical detailing & visual overlaps. I loved it because I am interested in #feminist history and the way that religion tried to suppress female knowledge & traditions by casting aspersions on women with the superstition based fear of “witches”. A depiction of what can happen to our communities when we let fear creep in.

I'm putting snaps on a stack of dice trays this afternoon, which would be a really boring task if I didn't have audio books. #AudioCrafting #Studio42Books

I just finished the tagged book, about a servant woman caught up in the witch trials. I was disappointed. While the book was well written, I don't think it brought anything new to the table. I didn't connect with the main character and wasn't invested in the outcome at all. 😕

CatLass007 I‘m sorry you didn‘t love your book. But at least you had it to keep you company. You said these are going to be dice trays. I‘m not familiar with what game you‘re building. But there‘s a dragon on it so I‘m interested. Will you be taking these to sell at a craft fair? 14mo
GondorGirl @CatLass007 dice trays are useful if you're posting Dungeons and Dragons or any game with a lot of dice. You can roll the dice in the tray and it keeps them from falling off the table. We have two comic conventions in November that we'll be vending at. 14mo
CatLass007 I have never played D&D. Which could explain why I couldn‘t recognize their use. I‘m trying to remember if I‘ve played any games with more than two dice. I think these are going to sell like hot cakes. I think before I read that they‘re going to be dice trays, I was picturing this with a lid so that it was a holder for mementos. Good luck at your comic conventions. 14mo
