Her Kind by Niamh Boyce

The gripping story of Ireland’s first witch hunt

1324, Kilkennie: A time of suspicion and conspiracy ... A place where zealous men rage against each other - and even more against uppity women

A woman finds refuge with her daughter in the household of a childhood friend.

The friend, Alice Kytler, gives her former companion a new name, Petronelle, a job as a servant, and warns her to hide their old connection.

But in aligning herself with a powerful woman, Petronelle and her child are in more danger than they ever faced in the savage countryside ...

Tense, moving and atmospheric Her Kind is vivid reimagining of the events leading to the Kilkenny Witch Trial.
