The Women of Wild Hill

A Novel

De: Kirsten Miller

Narrado por: January LaVoy

A witty, spectacular, and timely tale of modern-day witches waging war on the patriarchy, from fan favorite Kirsten Miller, the author of The Change and Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books.

There are places on earth where nature’s powers gather. Girls raised there are bequeathed strange gifts. A few have powers so dark that they fear to use them. Such a place is Wild Hill, on the tip of Long Island. For centuries, the ghost of a witch murdered by colonists claimed the beautiful and fertile Wild Hill…until a young Scottish woman with strange gifts arrived. Sadie Duncan was allowed to stay.

Five generations of Sadie’s descendants called Wild Hill home, each generation more powerful than the last. Then, in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy, the last of the Duncans, once prophesized to be the most powerful of their kind, abandoned their ancestral home.

One of them, Brigid Laguerre moved to California and turned her dark gift into fame and fortune. Her sister, Phoebe, settled on a ranch in Texas, where women visit in secret for her tonics and cures. Phoebe’s daughter, Sybil, has become a famous chef. Seemingly powerless, Sibyl has never been told of the Duncan bloodline.

Now Brigid, Phoebe, and Sibyl have been brought to Wild Hill to discover their family legacy. The Old One, furious at the path mankind has taken, has chosen three powerful witches to turn the tide. The Duncans will fulfill their destinies—but only if they can set aside their grievances and come together as a family.

So Good!

I enjoyed Kirsten Miller’s The Change but I loved this one. Great story overall, fighting the patriarchy with a dash of Practical Magic. Heartfelt and entertaining.

Great story

I loved the story line, I was hooked right away. The narrator was awesome and I find her very easy to listen to.

Excellent story! Witches solving the crisis of the earth!

I love how this story straightforwardly explains how the patriarchy (which is destroying our planet with greed) is taken out by women. These women realize they are connected to the power and forces of nature and head on a path to create a more peaceful, healthy abundant earth.

The narrator is great and the story wasn’t by the numbers.

I wasn’t emotionally involved in the novel, but the storyline was interesting. The bad guys were all lumped into one category with very little nuance distinguishing them

Brilliant book! [People who think planet conservation should be left to political choice, stay away 😄]

The narration and the premise are great and the story is a good example of One health concept. The progression in the story is paced very well.
When scrolling through the reviews, beware of the bad review by Kirstin Ruehlen (Nov 2025) which says the book is terrible because it is about terrible women who kill people with differing political opinion - this is as laughable as it is concerning because there are people who think conserving the planet is merely a political preference. If you think so too, you might not enjoy this book 😉
The only thing I personally found jarring in this book is how much the character of the daughter kept swearing at her mother. Given the premise that witches stick together and help/save each other and save the planet, an adult witch behaving this way with her own mother felt very much like out of character. But then again it is very much a matter of personal preference and may not stick out to other listeners.
