Publisher's Summary
The plague is spreading. The hundred year war is beginning. Katharina Kepler is believed to be a witch.
Known for her herbal remedies and successful children–among them Johannes, Imperial Mathematician and author of the laws of planetary motion–Katharina’s life is changed by an accusation of witchcraft. Facing financial ruin, torture and even execution, she tells her side of the story.
Witty, engaging and vividly imagined, Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch draws on historical documents to illuminate a society undone by collective aggression and hysterical fear–a narrative with true resonance for today.
Critic Reviews
‘Funny in parts, absurd in others … This riveting novel takes us into the labyrinthine hearts of accused and accusers alike’ Margaret Atwood
‘Superbly voiced … funny … the absurdity, rompiness and obsession with food (usually sausages) are spot on for the era, but so too is an inescapable sense of loss’ Telegraph
‘A wise meditation on the kind of hysterical scapegoating we see so often in the age of the internet … I loved this book intensely when I read it this summer and have thought of it nearly every day through this strange autumn’ Lauren Groff, Guardian
