A Lullaby for Witches

Written by Hester Fox

Narrated by Lauren Ezzo

Two women. A history of witchcraft. And a deep-rooted female power that sings across the centuries.

Once there was a young woman from a well-to-do New England family who never quite fit with the drawing rooms and parlors of her kin.

Called instead to the tangled woods and wild cliffs surrounding her family’s estate, Margaret Harlowe grew both stranger and more beautiful as she cultivated her uncanny power. Soon, whispers of “witch” dogged her footsteps, and Margaret’s power began to wind itself with the tendrils of something darker.

One hundred and fifty years later, Augusta Podos takes a dream job at Harlowe House, the historic home of a wealthy New England family that has been turned into a small museum in Tynemouth, Massachusetts. When Augusta stumbles across an oblique reference to a daughter of the Harlowes who has nearly been expunged from the historical record, the mystery is too intriguing to ignore.

But as she digs deeper, something sinister unfurls from its sleep, a dark power that binds one woman to the other across lines of blood and time. If Augusta can’t resist its allure, everything she knows and loves—including her very life—could be lost forever.

Delve into the magical power of flowers in Hester Fox's captivating new novel, THE BOOK OF THORNS, where long-lost sisters reunite on opposite sides of the Napoleonic Wars and must uncover the secrets of their mother's disappearance and their mystical powers…

Excellent! In my top three favorites by Hester Fox. Wish she would write a continuation of this story.

[Jennifer Harrison · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastic! I loved the multiple timelines and POV's. The prose is very lyrical at times. That epilogue was heartbreaking but so beautiful!

[Megan Burks-Encinas · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Took a turn I wasn't expecting. I definitely recommend this!

It was an interesting story, helped pass the time. I liked that Margaret was not dulled down to be an acceptable woman. Margaret’s boldness balanced out with Augusta was a meekness. I would have enjoyed the whole book from Margaret’s perspective.

Just a wonderful story with twists and turns, love and romance and history untold. August is so strong and yet doesn’t see it in herself until it’s really needed. Margret is a character I
Loved at first and now I love to hate her but she is an incredible personality for sure and I could
See why she turned out the way she did.
