1982 in an affluent Jewish suburb of Leeds. Twenty-one-year-old Evie pursues her practice of magick from the bedroom of her parents’ house alongside her Adam Ant posters and collection of china rabbits. Her parents call her exasperating, the other girls at the Synagogue call her weird, and a friendly psychiatrist with a pet dragon lizard calls it Asperger’s. Lonely, sheltered and bored, Evie is certain of one thing: she is a witch.

 ‘I haven’t read anything like this before. It has huge literary crossover potential and Harriett is a unique talent. I can’t wait to introduce the world to Evie. This is such an exciting chapter for UCLan Publishing and we feel very lucky to be working with such fresh talent.’ Hazel Holmes, Publisher, UCLan

‘I haven’t been this blown away by a debut in some time. Harriet has such a unique voice. I loved the character of Evie, who wonders if she is a witch and who over the course of the book has to learn to come to terms with her ‘otherness.’ She has a gift, truly. Harriet is one to watch.’ Karen Stretch, book publicist
