2006 World Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novel. The story of a young woman growing up in 1960s Midlands – who may be a witch. "Joyce's beguiling novel mingles elements of ancient lore, folk medicine, magic and 1960s bohemianism into a compelling brew . . . The humour generated by juxtaposing different world-views is delightful, as is the portrayal of a fast-vanishing, and now probably vanished, England, in which the outlandish and the mundane are interwoven." –Christina Koning, The Times
