About Emilia's book Weyward:

Three women. Five centuries. One secret.

In 2019, Kate flees an abusive relationship in London for Crows Beck, a remote Cumbrian village. Her destination is Weyward Cottage, inherited from her great Aunt Violet, an eccentric entomologist. As Kate struggles with the trauma of her past, she uncovers a secret about the women in her family. A secret dating back to 1619, when her ancestor Altha Weyward was put on trial for witchcraft…

They tried to cage us. But a Weyward woman belongs to the wild. We cannot be tamed.

Interweaving the stories of three women across history, Weyward is a novel about gender and control. It is a celebration of nature, female power and breaking free. A bewitching debut perfect for fans of Bridget Collins.
