Absolutely loving this beautiful book!
"She keeps bees here, in hemp-woven skeps, which hum with industrious and absorbed life; there are rows of herbs, flowers, plants, stems that wind up supporting twigs. Agnes’s witch garden, her stepmother calls it, with a roll of her eyes."

Absolutely loved this book. Beautiful and heartbreaking,
"It is even more difficult to leave the graveyard, than it was to enter it. So many graves to walk past, so many sad and angry ghosts tugging at her skirts, touching her with their cold fingers, pulling at her, naggingly, piteously, saying, Don’t go, wait for us, don’t leave us here."

I tried to read this years ago but wasn't in the right mindset at the time. Giving it another go!
