My review:????
The Age of Witches by Louisa Morgan starts in 1692, when Bridget Bishop is killed for being a witch, and her two daughters inherit powers from her. One daughter is about helping other people, and the other daughter is about helping herself. Their children follow in these footsteps, and 200 years later, Annis is a descendant of the helping sister, and her step mother, Frances, is a descendant of the other sister. And Frances has a plan to use Annis to establish her social standing in New York.
Harriet, Annis’s great aunt, and also descended from the good sister, sees what is happening, and helps Annis.
This is an enjoyable historic fantasy read, set in 1890s New York and England. The character motivations ring true, and I was interested in what was going to happen next!
The Age of Witches was published on 23rd April 2020, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Little, Brown.
