A totally unique debut that shines a light on the female experience. I loved it.
--Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time

Weyward spans three women's lives in three different centuries, connected by blood and one very unique gift. The writing's beautiful, the women are wonderful, and each narrative is as compelling as the next. Alive, vivid, gripping. Real magic. --Abigail Dean, New York Times bestselling author of Girl A

A very poignant story of female endurance and hidden power, humming with a sly, exhilarating magic. --Bridget Collins, Sunday Times bestselling author

An utterly absorbing page turner. Emilia Hart has written a brilliant story of the strength, resilience and power of three women spanning decades, against a stunning backdrop of the frailty and beauty of nature. This is an outstanding debut and worthy of all the stars.
--Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl With the Louding Voice

Scuttling with insects and dripping with dark magic, this book got its claws into me and simply refused to let go. An astonishingly accomplished debut, it is beguiling, absorbing and exquisitely rendered, with prose as finely-crafted as a dragonfly's wing. With Weyward, Emilia Hart bursts onto the literary scene with a howl of feminist rage.
--Lizzie Pook, author of Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter

Beautifully written and intricate as a spider's web, Weyward weaves an intergenerational tale of sorrow, love, and strength. Though separated by decades or even centuries, these three Weyward women--Altha, Violet, and Kate--are each other's heritage and legacy, and the power they each possess pays tribute to the connections between women, nature, and family. --Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters
