À propos de cette écoute

After a life of hurt and disappointment, Raya, the spiky-haired, Doc Marten-wearing 14-year-old decides it’s time to strike out on her own. She leaves the boring English village and what she's determined will be her last foster placement for the excitement of London. But it turns out she’s a witch, with the annoying habit of time-traveling - by accident. And a sarcastic witch’s cat Oscar tags along for the ride. Why would she fling herself into the midst of the Essex Witch Trials in 1645 England?

After being arrested by one of history’s most notorious witch hunters, her social worker and witch mentor Bryony goes back to try to save them from the gallows. But returning to present day London remains out of reach when they find themselves in Istanbul in the year 1645. There, life is more amazing than she ever dreamed. Can she stay? And at what cost?

    "It's a rollercoaster plot with gorgeous historical detail and fabulous characters...Magical." (The Sun, London)

    "The story belongs to Raya who is a cross between Harry Potter and Lisbeth Salander (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). She is equal parts strong and insecure, and her awakening is perhaps the most humanizing part of Pascoe's tale...[It's] a marvelous read and should appeal to all ages." (U.S. Review of Books)

    "[A]n imaginatively written timeslip novel... The mystery at the heart of the novel is well explained as is [Raya's] role, and even though the story appears quite light hearted in places, its underlying message of love, loyalty and friendship is nicely explored and strongly focused. The historical element sits comfortably alongside the modern-day setting and there is enough action to keep interest alive until the end." (The Historic Novel Society)
