About this listen

In thirteenth-century Ireland, a woman with power is a woman to be feared.

When a young Alice Kyteler sees her mother wither under the constraints of family responsibilities, she vows that she won't suffer the same fate. Soon Alice discovers she has a flair for making money, and builds a flourishing business. But as her wealth and stature grow, so too do the rumours about her private life. By the time she has moved on to her fourth husband, a blaze of local gossip and resentment culminates in an accusation that could prove fatal.

Inspired by the first recorded person in Ireland to have been condemned as a witch, Bright I Burn gives voice to a woman lost to history, who dared to carve her own space in a man’s world.©2024 Molly Aitken (P)2024 Canongate Books

"Everything good must die, that's why I keep living"...
Perhaps the most striking line of the book. Alice never considered herself as good. Consumed her four husbands, infatuated to Petronilla, her aide.
Bright I burn is a loomy tale of Alice Kytele, set in medieval Ireland. She was charged for witchcraft & things of that sort.
The narration by Molly Aitken is exquisite. We tend to believed that this could happen even today!
Wonderful listening experience overall.

Bright...she burned.
