Wexford, 1657. Ireland is on its knees. Eight years after Cromwell's army burned Killenea Castle to the ground, Mithim McMurrough – daughter of a Gaelic lord, healer and last keeper of her family's secrets – is living alone and in hiding in the depths of a Wexford forest. The soldiers are moving closer. And the past is closing in faster still. Steeped in Irish mythology, the Celtic tree calendar and the forgotten wisdom of the Gaelic healing women, Mithim is a stunning debut – fierce, lyrical, and utterly original. Guided by the goddess An Cailleach and the ancient spirits of the land, it gives voice to a woman whose history was forgotten: a Gaelic noblewoman who refused to disappear quietly into the wreckage of conquest, who carried her people's knowledge into the dark and who will risk everything to find out who survived. Meet the bould Mithim – the Irish woman history forgot.
