I recognize that during this time period women had very few rights, but this family it set up right at the beginning to be a matriarchal society with the grandmother at the head whose orders are followed by all, including the men. My feminist soul was also cringing the entire time. The story was so bland and void of detail it almost felt like reading a textbook, even the suspenseful parts with a fiery witch hunter on their trail just fizzled out to nothing. Girl is puzzled by secrecy of mother, receives her powers at puberty, fights with mother, finds baby daddy, bears daughter, repeat. The story of each daughter just seemed like the same story repeated over again with minor alterations of detail. I really did not care for this book, it lacked any detail and intrigue.
Set in Europe this story follows a family of witches spanning five generations and chronicles how the magic is passed down from mother to daughter and their efforts to keep their craft a secret.
