- Book Synopsis
- The bleak Hungarian plain, 1914, an isolated village shrouded in superstition and rumours of witchcraft...'I have made mistakes. As surely as though eight women are twisting in the wind now, in my own way, I've been twisting in the wind my whole life. At least that's what I tell myself when I cannot face up to what I am and what I've done...' Outcast from village life, Sari is tormented by a loneliness like no other. The daughter of a Taltos, Sari has the second sight and a reputation as a witch. At the outbreak of war, the men of the village are called away to fight and a powerful bind develops between the women left behind. Sari for the first time, finds herself with friends. However, these friendships come at a price as the women struggle to hold on to the freedom that war has brought them. As the village mid-wife turns to boiling fly-paper to source its arsenic, problems are solved with sinister undertones.
