A searing take on femininity and power Marrow transports readers to a small island off the
coast of Maine where a coven has done the seemingly impossible. The day Oona was kicked out
of her mother’s coven she gave up on her dreams of harnessing the witchcraft that was her
birthright. Years later she's carved out an ordinary life with her husband though she is
filled with a longing she can barely name. If she could only become a mother then—according to
island lore—she will come into her magic. But after years of being unable to carry a
pregnancy to term Oona begins to feel desperate. Without the money to seek medical treatment
she decides she must return to the rugged windswept island where she was raised—and to her
dark enigmatic mother . . . a witch who gives childless women the chance to become mothers.
Oona returns under the cover of anonymity hoping for an answer. But despite a celebrity
clientele and a long wait-list there are dark forces at work on the island and as her time
there grows more harrowing the truth threatens to come to light. How far will Oona go to
access the power her mother commands? Tender and intense witchy and wise and written in
prose that glitters and seethes Marrow is a gripping novel about the complex bonds between
mothers and daughters about what we must believe in order to imagine a future for ourselves
and what we must let go in order to fully live it.
