About this listen
Endeavor Award runner-up, 2018
A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters—witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift.
Brittany, 1821. After Grand-mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her.
Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden.
But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever—not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history.
©2017 Louisa Morgan (P)2017 Hachette AudioWhat the critics say
"At once sprawling and intimate, A Secret History of Witches deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and daughters." (Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of The Immortals)
"Epic in scope and heartbreakingly tender in its portrayal of mothers and daughters... Recommended for fans of Nora Roberts and readers of feminist fantasy."—Booklist
"I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic if it had been set in various time periods, but much more expansive in scope. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time."—Laure Eve, author of The Graces

Witchy Romance
I definitely enjoyed this book, the narrator did an excellent job. It was a bit cheesy at times, and I feel like a bit more in depth magic would have been nice. Overall though, this was well written and the story was interesting imo.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this story very much. I even cried a few times throughout the story. I also enjoyed the narration and the many different voices the narrator uses well. I do wish she would have learned to pronounce Samhain though... it is a common mispronunciation, but as the word is used a lot in the story it would have been good to hear it said properly. But overall I would recommend.
