Description

This is a witch story unlike any other.

Lux has lost everything when Else finds her in the woods. Her family, her lover, her home - all burned. The world is suspicious of women like her. But Lux is cunning; she knows how to blend into the background. And she knows a lot about poisons.

Else needs Lux's help to destroy the man who wronged her. But on their hunt they will uncover dark secrets that entangle them with dangerous adversaries.

From the snowy winter woods to the bright midnight sun; from lost and powerless to finding your path, Now She is Witch conjures a world where women grasp at power through witchcraft, sexuality and performance, and sometimes by throwing each other to the wolves.


'A story that will hold you tight and not let go' Stylist

'Mesmerising and evocative...There are echoes of everything from the Brothers Grimm to Angela Carter' Observer

'Powerful, imaginative, compelling - myth-making at its best' Val McDermid

'An impassioned reclaiming of female desire...absorbingly atmospheric' Daily Mail

'Spooky, timeless, feminist, inventive, unsettling' Viv Groksop

Reviews
Kirsty Logan's mesmerising and evocative novel represents an imaginative triumph in this new subgenre [of "witch lit"]... There are echoes of everything from the Brothers Grimm to Angela Carter in Logan's deceptively simple storytelling * Observer *
Logan builds Lux's world with an eye for striking detail...the images snap and sizzle with portent and possibility * Guardian *
One of our national writing treasures, Kirsty Logan's latest tale is a deeply atmospheric, sometimes gory but ultimately uplifting... a story that will hold you tight and not let go * Stylist *
An impassioned reclaiming of female desire. Stuffed, Russian-doll like, with stories...an absorbingly atmospheric adventure * Daily Mail *
A dark conjuring of a book: angry, powerful, hypnotic, told in prose of dazzling power. -- Kiran Millwood Hargrave

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
