Witch Hill Review
Mrs. B. S. Kemp
5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and lyrical
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2011
This first person narrative of a boy who is trying to cope with disaster, interspersed with historical fragments, had me gripped from the start. It centres on Jamie, staying with relatives in the aftermath of a fire, but the story shifts to focus more and more on his creepy dream of an old hag, his new surroundings and their strange and oddly compelling folklore. Sedgwick’s writing is lyrical and haunting, drawing you into the strangeness by rooting it all in visceral reality.
I am always happy reading books which reference folklore and superstition, going beyond the obvious and weaving a range of ideas, beliefs and practices into a single narrative and that is one of Witch Hill’s strengths.
I will absolutely be seeking out a lot more of Sedgwick’s work in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT’S A YOUNG PERSON’S BOOK!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2019
Didn’t realise this was a children’s book until it arrived at my home. Started to read it then realised! However, I read it anyway and it’s really good (for children). Will be more careful next time. Would be a good read for a young person and I would have enjoyed it had I been pre-teens. You live and learn.
