Good evening everyone. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of the fabulous sounding Bright I Burn by Molly Aitken this week. I love a witchy book and learning about a new period of history so this book instantly appealed to me.
Huge thanks to the lovely Mel from @faberbooks for visiting Rossiters and leaving this lovely proof for us. I can’t wait to read it soon.

Book Synopsis:
In thirteenth-century Ireland, a woman with power is a woman to be feared.
When a young Alice Kyteler sees her mother wither under the constraints of family responsibilities, she vows that she will not suffer the same fate. When she discovers she has a flair for making money, she soon builds a flourishing trade. But as her wealth and stature grow, so too do the rumours about her private life. By the time she has moved on to her fourth husband, a blaze of local gossip and resentment culminates in an accusation that could prove fatal.
Inspired by the first recorded person in Ireland to have been condemned as a witch, Bright I Burn gives voice to a woman lost to history, who dared to carve her own space in a man’s world.
