Mithim

<p>Wexford, 1657. Ireland is on its knees.</p><p>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.</p><p>Fierce, lyrical and steeped in Irish mythology, the Celtic tree calendar and the forgotten wisdom of the Gaelic healing women, <em>Mithim</em> gives voice to a 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.</p><p>Meet the bould <strong>Mithim </strong>– the Irish woman history forgot.</p>
