1348: As the Black Plague ravages Italy, Ginevra di Gasparo is summoned to Florence after nearly a decade of lonely exile. Ginevra has a gift (harnessing the hidden powers of gemstones, she can heal the sick), but when word spread of her unusual abilities, she was condemned as a witch and banished. Now the same men who expelled Ginevra are begging for her return . . .
Impeccably researched with vibrant prose, The Stone Witch of Florence offers an interesting look at the intersection of folk magic, medicine and religion in the 14th century.
“Magical in every sense of the word, it's that precious and rare type of story: the kind that makes you want to fly through its pages while simultaneously savoring every word. The Stone Witch of Florence is a feast of a novel; erudite, transportive, and addicting." -- Katy Hays, bestselling author of The Cloisters and Saltwater
