This book demonstrates the scale of the imaginative labour that is required to enter the psychology of a witch panic and to empathise with the witch hunters.Iris, otherworldly as she is, then begins to magick things up to help her new companion: a blanket, a meal.

Está es una historia desgarradora, triste y lamentablemente real que la autora toma, aborda y en base a ella crea un acontecimiento ficticio dónde dos "brujas" se conectan, una es Duncan, en su celda, y la otra es un Iris del siglo XXI que la acompaña en sus últimos momentos de una forma muy particular.

Separated by centuries they may be, these women present a sad realisation that there is still much to connect their situations. Fagan’s ability to highlight the extraordinary buried in the everyday is on full display, as is her glorious use of language.
