Synopsis

'A compelling, prescient tale of an alternate world with far too many scary similarities to our own.' Angela Clarke

Let me repeat myself, so we can be very clear. Women are not the enemy. We must protect them from themselves, just as much as we must protect ourselves.

Imagine a world in which witchcraft is real. In which mothers hand down power to their daughters, power that is used harmlessly and peacefully.

Then imagine that the US President is a populist demagogue who decides that all witches must be imprisoned for their own safety, as well as the safety of those around them - creating a world in which to be female is one step away from being criminal...

As witches across the world are rounded up, one young woman discovers a power she did not know she had. It's a dangerous force and it puts her top of the list in a global witch hunt.

But she - and the women around her - won't give in easily. Not while all of women's power is under threat.

The Coven is a dazzling global thriller that pays homage to the power and potential of women everywhere.

The Coven is a breathtaking, pacy global race against the clock to defeat a shadowy organisation adamant on destroying women’s potential and a prophetic, highly original and post-Trump dystopian thriller that irrevocably links witchcraft and feminist resistance creating an ingrained prejudice agains......more

Goodreads review by Hermes on January 10, 2022

No estaba seguro de qué esperar en Aquelarre, la sinopsis me llamaba mucho la atención pero no deja muy claro el tema principal de la novela. Este libro me sorprendió, es una historia de fantasía distópica y realismo, cargado de brujería y aventuras. La autora a través de las paginas nos embarca en......more

Goodreads review by Xfi on November 11, 2022

Buena idea, pero demasiado acelerada y un poco vacía. Me gustó la primera mitad del libro, se nos presenta un mundo actual y casi real con el añadido de que existe la magia y las brujas. Aquí se ponen las bases para una buena historia (Aunque no deje de ser un "Cuento de la Criada" con fantasía) pero......more

Pensé que no iba a terminar nunca este libro, pero después de como 300 páginas por fin le encontré un gusto. En conclusión estás últimas páginas si me gustaron y levantaron el libro 🥰 Pero siendo honesta no creo que vuelva a leer este libro o lo recuerde más adelante 😅......more
