The Hemlock Cure
Location(s): Eyam
Genre(s): Fiction, Historical
Era(s): Mid 1660s
In a wholly original take on the Eyam story, Joanne Burn’s elegant prose, rich in authentic detail, results in a rewarding and timely read — SARAH BURTON, author of ‘The Strange Adventures of H’
Lyrically written, The Hemlock Cure propels the reader into the seventeenth-century world of potions and mystery. These are not powerless women but women with their own sense of ambition and destiny. — RHIANNON WARD, author of ‘The Quickening’
Spellbinding and profound, The Hemlock Cure is a dazzling act of reclamation of the truth of women’s lives. Burn writes beautifully about female courage and retribution, of the ties that make and bind a family, and different ways of belonging. This is a compassionate and intensely moving novel that is rich in meaning and hugely resonant for our own plague-struck era.
