EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR MOTHER IS A WITCH - RIVKA G...

'Riveting' Margaret Atwood'I loved this book intensely' Lauren Groff Guardian The plague is
spreading. The hundred year war is beginning. Katharina Kepler is believed to be a witch. Known
for her herbal remedies and successful children - among them Johannes  Imperial Mathematician
and author of the laws of planetary motion - Katharina's life is changed by an accusation of
witchcraft. Facing financial ruin  torture and even execution  she tells her side of the story.
Witty  engaging and vividly imagined  Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch draws on historical
documents to illuminate a society undone by collective aggression and hysterical fear - a
narrative with true resonance for today. 'Darkly funny ... Her prose  which recalls Hilary
Mantel's Wolf Hall   is light  pared back and subtly archaic' Financial Times 'Superbly voiced
... funny' Telegraph 'A magical brew of absurdity and brutality' Washington Post 'Galchen
expertly weaves together a story told from multiple perspectives  showing how easy it is for a
mob mentality to take hold in a climate of fear and ignorance when a woman simply exists
outside of the norm' New York Times
