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.
“A feast of a novel, The Stone Witch of Florence is erudite, transportive, and addicting. Magical in every sense of the word!” -- Katy Hays, bestselling author of The Cloisters and Saltwater
