They Can't Burn Us All

They Can’t Burn Us All is a thrilling, fiery fable, full of compassion, rage and magic. Kemp brings 17th century Iceland to vivid life; a place of deadly storms and even deadlier curses, of long-hidden secrets and lingering resentments. A timely and important reminder of the enduring power of women’s voices. * Danielle Giles, author of MERE *I utterly adored Cathryn Kemp’s debut, A Poisoner’s Tale, so I had high hopes for They Can’t Burn Us All, and I wasn’t disappointed! This is a haunting, mesmerising tale of C17th Icelandic witch trials, with descriptions so evocative you can feel the snow’s chill and hear the ravens’ cries and smell the fires burning. A dark, urgent tale of female agency and the power of both speaking out and refusing to speak. * Naomi Kelsey, author of THE BURNINGS *I absolutely LOVED They Can’t Burn Us All. Immersive and heartrending, TCBUA is a powerful and compelling retelling of 17th century witch trials … With breathtaking descriptions and meticulous historical authenticity, I was completely captivated by this vital work of witch literature * ANYA BERGMAN, author of international bestseller, The Witches of Vardø *
