The Names of a Hare
Bernice Barry
Cornwall, 1628. A young girl guards a dangerous secret: she can leave her body and fly. Steeped in herbal lore and forbidden spells, the girl becomes a woman, while across the land whispers of witchcraft turn deadly. When witchfinder Matthew Hopkins sets out to hunt her down, their meeting will change the course of history. In a world that fears what it cannot explain, a story shared is the most potent magic of all.
‘Barry writes with the soul of the Cornish landscape and language infusing her blood and her pen. Beautiful and entrancing.’
‘Eloquent and wise, like its compelling narrator, this is one of the finest historical novels I have read.’
