Beschreibung

'Riveting' Margaret Atwood'I loved this book intensely' Lauren Groff <em>Guardian</em><p>The plague is spreading. The hundred year war is beginning. Katharina Kepler is believed to be a witch.</p><p>Known for her herbal remedies and successful children - among them Johannes, Imperial Mathematician and author of the laws of planetary motion - Katharina's life is changed by an accusation of witchcraft. Facing financial ruin, torture and even execution, she tells her side of the story.</p><p>Witty, engaging and vividly imagined, <em>Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch</em> draws on historical documents to illuminate a society undone by collective aggression and hysterical fear - a narrative with true resonance for today.</p><p><strong>'Darkly funny ... Her prose, which recalls Hilary Mantel's <em>Wolf Hall</em>, is light, pared back and subtly archaic' <em>Financial Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>'Superbly voiced ... funny' <em>Telegraph</em></strong></p><p><strong>'A magical brew of absurdity and brutality' <em>Washington Post</em></strong></p><p><strong>'Galchen expertly weaves together a story told from multiple perspectives, showing how easy it is for a mob mentality to take hold in a climate of fear and ignorance when a woman simply exists outside of the norm' <em>New York Times</em></strong></p>
