It's 1845 and Gindlina Uroslov is the 13 year old daughter of Russian immigrants living in New York, and a young hereditary witch in training. In this world, magic is a known quantity, but as it has been used to subjugate norms in the past, it is scorned by most in the New World. Unfortunately, this is where Gindlina's father must establish a branch of the ancient House of Uroslov. Follow Gindlina as she and her family fight to save their magical heritage in a cold and mechanized New World.
I began reading this book with curiosity and interest. Witches and witchcraft in America are of great fascination to me and many others. Therefore we are drawn to stories such as “Gindlina: Good Witch of the West “. This is only the beginning but not the only beginning. Loved it. You will as well.
An absolutely fabulous book for the whole family! My 12 year old daughter read it first and said it was her new favourite book. I keep telling her not to give me spoilers before I finish the second! The character development and world-building are incredible.
