Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Witch's Kind in Books
Sep 26, 2019
I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this book! The title and cover are a bit deceiving but this novel is reminiscent of Manhattan Beach. The strength and bond of the women in this book is inspiring. Aunt Charlotte might be my favorite character ever! Resilience and courage during wartime was found in many forms. This one was marvelous. One of my favorite books of the year!
