Sorceress

I've saved the best for last. The prolific, erudite and consistently brilliant Celia Rees is justly renowned for her dizzyingly inventive plots, redolent of everyone from Angela Carter to Shakespeare. Sovay and Witch Child are two of her best-known books in the younger market, but she has written countless more, all equally breathtaking
Celia Rees herself, has always been a formidable force in the world of YA [.] It's important, as well as tremendously good entertainment. And Sorceress continues this vein of importance, looking at the way women and girls have been treated over the centuries [.] I will always put Celia and her books on the top rung of YA
Celia Rees is one of Britain's foremost writers for teenagers
Twenty years after the publication of The Witch Child, Sorceress is rich with evocative descriptions of places, food, and textures the reader can tangibly experience
