The familiars a novel5/28/2023 She’s strong-willed and active, always riding horses, joining her husband on hunting trips, and playing with her large dog, Puck.īut for all her strength of character, Fleetwood is in dire circumstances: Already four years into her marriage, she’s pregnant for the fourth time. She may stand 4’11” and be only 17 years old, but Fleetwood immediately demonstrates her big personality and self-assurance. The book centers on Fleetwood Shuttleworth, the wife of the wealthy Richard Shuttleworth. The Familiars is set in Lancashire, England in 1612: the year of the famous Pendle witch trials. I’m currently reading through history, working my way forward from ancient Greek mythology – Circe and The Silence of the Girls – through the 1500s with The Secrets of Life and Death. Though I was in the middle of a non-fiction reading spree, I kept gazing at The Familiars longingly, promising to read it soon.įast forward to last week, and it was the right time. I was drawn to its beautiful cover, then remembered I’d added it to my wanted list on Goodreads sometime in 2019, so I knew I had to get it.

I decided I needed to get a book (or 10) as a souvenir, and the first one I chose was Stacey Halls‘ debut, The Familiars.
