THERE IS POWER IN SILENCE East Anglia, 1645. Martha Hallybread, a
midwife, healer and servant, has lived peacefully for more than
four decades in her beloved Cleftwater. Everyone in the village
knows Martha, but no one has ever heard her speak. One bright
morning, Martha becomes a silent witness to a witch hunt, led by
sinister new arrival Silas Makepeace. As a trusted member of the
community, she is enlisted to search the bodies of the accused
women for evidence. But whilst she wants to help her friends, she
also harbours a dark secret that could cost her own freedom. In
desperation, Martha revives a wax witching doll that she inherited
from her mother, in the hope that it will bring protection. But the
doll's true powers are unknowable, the tide is turning, and time is
running out . . . A spellbinding and intoxicating novel inspired by
true events, The Witching Tide is a magnificent debut from a writer
to watch. 'A beautiful, haunting and utterly transporting novel
that takes the reader back to a terrifyingly real witching England'
NAOMI WOOD 'I absolutely devoured The Witching Tide. To read this
book is to step inside time . . . a powerful, riveting read, each
sentence pristine and haunting' ELIZABETH MACNEAL
