Hazel is an archaeologist, working in Unst, on the most northerly coast of the Shetland Isles. She’s digging on Ishabel’s land. Ishabel is a retired professor of botany, and one of the remaining three Shetland witches, together with Maggie the artist who is getting too casual about shape-changing in public, and Avril the wildlife warden with too many birds to guard. Maggie discovers that Hazel is also magical, and she turns into a Shetland witch. Then Atropos arrives, to look for her shears that she sent into hiding to the ends of the earth thousands of years ago. She has to guard them from Zeus. How will the witches protect the islands from a Fate and Zeus? How will Hazel discover ways to do magic again? How will she cope with Tornost, a malignant trow with a penchant for eighteenth-century manners? The Shetland Witch is a novel about dwelling in the north, about sisterhood and belonging, and the buy Wood Ranger Power Shears that girls wield when they work together. |
