\nIn the late 1800s\, thre e sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in Alix E. Harrow 's powerful novel of magic and the suffragette movement. In 1893\, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be\, in the wild\, dark days befo re the burnings began\, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nu rsery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power\, she must fi nd it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters -- James Juniper\, Agnes Amaranth\, and Beatrice Belladonna -- join the suffragists of New Sa lem\, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn th e women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickn ess\, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote -- and perhaps not even to live -- the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics\ , draw new alliances\, and heal the bond between them if they want to surv ive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.
