À propos de cet audio
Endeavor Award runner-up, 2018
A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters—witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift.
Brittany, 1821. After Grand-mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her.
Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden.
But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever—not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history.

Barrie Anne Blythe and her aunt Charlotte have always known that the other residents of their small coastal community find them peculiar - two women living alone on the outskirts of town. It is the price of concealing their strange and dangerous family secret. But two events threaten to upend their lives forever. The first is the arrival of a mysterious abandoned baby with a hint of power like their own. The second is the sudden reappearance of Barrie Anne's long-lost husband - who is not quite the man she thought she married.

Histoire
In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means necessary. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

Histoire
In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"At once sprawling and intimate, A Secret History of Witches deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and daughters." (Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of The Immortals)
"Epic in scope and heartbreakingly tender in its portrayal of mothers and daughters... Recommended for fans of Nora Roberts and readers of feminist fantasy."—Booklist
"I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic if it had been set in various time periods, but much more expansive in scope. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time."—Laure Eve, author of The Graces
Good story

I only wish the author had spent more time developing the relationship and bond between mother - daughter (Nannette - Ursula). Ursula was just so contrary to her Mom in all things, Insufferable for a daughter that was well loved and cared for by a collection of women,
Being disrespectful and contrary was her whole personality: "you don't know what your talking about Mom, that can't be true." So full of disbelief. Disagreeing with everything just for the sake of it. Nanette had the skills and knowledge to have nipped that character flaw right in the bud at a very young age. Dismissing Nanette's warnings over and over, despite knowing the history, stories and persecution her Mom and Grandma had lived.
Morwan as a youth was just as vapid & utterly clueles. Completely unprepared for life, despite embracing hardwork and her birth dad being available to educate her. Morwen should have been clever and wise beyond her years, observant. Not utterly clueless about the Craft, her Mother's underlying secre[s and motivations.
Too much about the history of their line and the Craft wasn't fleshed out, it was treated as secondary to the plot instead of the main.
Mothers and daughters of the time would have just had each other and spent 99% of their time together, they were also close in age and would have been like sisters. They would have been able to strategize with the help of the Craft, it's gift would have bestowed generational, accumulated knowledge from all who had laid hands on the stone. They could have been midwives/health care providers to endear themselves to society, earn their own money and be respected instead of feared.
They were compelled to pass on the Craft and ensure their daughters would accepted their birthright, act accordingly and not endanger the family, given the times. Mother's would have to raise them with an understanding, and appreciation for everything Craft related, especially if the goal was to build the line back to its former glory.
Only read the review when you've finished the book. Spoilers. I wonder if others feel the same?
