'Riveting' Margaret Atwood 'I loved this book intensely' Lauren
Groff Guardian The plague is spreading. The hundred year war is
beginning. Katharina Kepler is believed to be a witch. Known for
her herbal remedies and successful children - among them Johannes,
Imperial Mathematician and author of the laws of planetary motion -
Katharina's life is changed by an accusation of witchcraft. Facing
financial ruin, torture and even execution, she tells her side of
the story. Witty, engaging and vividly imagined, Everyone Knows
Your Mother Is a Witch draws on historical documents to illuminate
a society undone by collective aggression and hysterical fear - a
narrative with true resonance for today. 'Darkly funny ... Her
prose, which recalls Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, is light, pared
back and subtly archaic' Financial Times 'Superbly voiced ...
funny' Telegraph 'A magical brew of absurdity and brutality'
Washington Post 'Galchen expertly weaves together a story told from
multiple perspectives, showing how easy it is for a mob mentality
to take hold in a climate of fear and ignorance when a woman simply
exists outside of the norm' New York Times
