It tries very hard to appeal to a large audience.Īnd mostly it succeeds. And from what reviews I’ve read, it doesn’t go into enough depth about wicca/paganism to bother most Christian readers but may disappoint some wiccan/pagan practitioners for lack of detail. There isn’t really any swearing or gruesome violence, even though a few people experience unpleasant endings. There’s sex, but brief scenes that don’t go into much detail. Even with the Catholic witch hunters who try to expose the Orchiéres for what they are, Christians are only lightly touched on. A SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES follows their genealogy from 1821 to World War II, showcasing a line of vibrant women connected tightly to their family’s past and future.Ī SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES is the kind of book you bring to your ladies’ book club. The Orchiére women have used their magic for hundreds of years, the magic following their daughters from generation to generation. And the only reason they escape is through the efforts of the group’s matriarch and the magic she’s inherited from her witch ancestresses. The book begins in 1821, when a small group of Romani (gypsies) are escaping immanent death by leaving France for England.
