Omslagtekst:
A young adult fiction anthology of 15 stories featuring contemporary, historical, and futuristic stories featuring witchy heroines who are diverse in race, class, sexuality, religion, geography, and era.
Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Glinda the Good Witch. Elphaba the Wicked Witch. Willow. Sabrina. Gemma Doyle. The Mayfair Witches. Ursula the Sea Witch. Morgan le Fey. The three weird sisters from Macbeth.
History tells us women accused of witchcraft were often outsiders: educated, independent, unmarried, unwilling to fall in line with traditional societal expectations.
Bold. Powerful. Rebellious.
A bruja’s traditional love spell has unexpected results. A witch’s healing hands begin to take life instead of giving it when she ignores her attraction to a fellow witch. In a terrifying future, women are captured by a cabal of men crying witchcraft and the one true witch among them must fight to free them all. In a desolate past, three orphaned sisters prophesize for a murderous king. Somewhere in the present, a teen girl just wants to kiss a boy without causing a hurricane.
From good witches to bad witches, to witches who are a bit of both, this is an anthology of diverse witchy tales from a collection of diverse, feminist authors. The collective strength of women working together—magically or mundanely–has long frightened society, to the point that women’s rights are challenged, legislated against, and denied all over the world. Toil & Trouble delves deep into the truly diverse mythology of witchcraft from many cultures and feminist points of view, to create modern and unique tales of witchery that have yet to be explored.
Hoi allemaal! Het is oktober, en weten jullie wat dat betekent? Halloween komt eraan! En bij Halloween horen enge boeken, dus ik heb een TBR lijstje samengesteld van de boeken die ik wil gaan lezen in de komende weken!
Hoi allemaal! Fijne zondag! Wat vliegt de tijd soms toch snel voorbij, de week is alweer ten einde. En net gisteren kwam mijn order van The Book Depository binnen, dus precies op tijd om jullie vandaag te kunnen laten zien! Ik denk dat er voorlopig even geen showcases meer komen (al zeg ik dat wel vaker, en hou ik me er nooit aan), want ik moet even een beetje zuinig gaan doen. In januari gaan we een aantal daagjes naar Lapland (!) en ik moet echt nog even wat sparen om de vakantie te kunnen betalen…
