The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan (Little, Brown Book Group UK)

18th Century Brittany. For generations in the Orchiere clan hasn't been a witch born. There are only stories of the great witches of the past. Ursule's mother just pretends as a witch and fortune-teller to her clients. Until Ursule discovers her own powers and starts to live her own life guided by the whispers of her ancestors and an ancient grimoire. Her destiny might be magnificent, but also very dangerous. Witches has to be burned...

All she wants is to guide her people to safety. Ursule knows all to well that the cost of magic do not always match its reward.

What a marvellous and bewitching tale/saga for those who like magic, love, historical fiction. And Ursule; such mighty, powerful and fearless heroine!

Delightful and charming read on every level.

5/5
