Daughter of the forest book5/31/2023 After days of reading I was delighted to realise that I still had a large portion of the novel to go. Sorcha is the only one who can save them through an impossible task that takes her further and further from her home and happiness.ĭespite its length and weighty content, I found myself unable to put this book down. This love is tested when her father’s otherworldly new wife begins to wreak havoc throughout Sevenwaters, cursing her brothers to years of pain. She loves her six brothers dearly, who have raised her since their mother’s death. Sorcha is the seventh child of a seventh son, and is the only girl in a world of men. Woven with Irish folklore and spirituality, it is something of a fairytale, however a very painful and grown up one. It is an authentic story of a young girl living in Ireland in a time of war with the Picts and Britons. I was given the first instalment of the Sevenwaters novels by Juliet Marrilier as a Christmas present, and found myself hooked.
