"Conjure Women" is a captivating debut novel that delves into the complexities of escaping the shadows of the past while navigating a new world filled with both dangers and opportunities. Set on an old plantation, the story revolves around a pale-skinned, black-eyed baby, who is seen as a harbinger of bad luck. However, the people on the plantation have faith in Miss Rue, a midwife, healer, and curse crafter, who is expected to know how to deal with the situation.
However, things take a surprising turn when Miss Rue finds herself at a loss for solutions. The world has changed since her mother, Miss May Belle, held the power to influence the lives and deaths of her fellow slaves. Freedom has come, and the masters' Big House lies in ruins. But this new world brings with it new challenges, and Rue's old magic may not be enough to protect her community from the dangers that lurk around every corner.
As sickness sweeps across her tight-knit community, Rue becomes the focus of suspicion. People question her secrets, her spells, and her relationship with a charismatic preacher man who promises to save them all. Rue understands fear, as it has been a constant presence in her life and her mother's before her. She knows that she must confront her fears and her ghosts to find a new way forward for herself and her people.
"Conjure Women" is a powerful story that explores the lengths we would go to protect the ones we love. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the strength of community. Through Rue's journey, the novel sheds light on the complexities of identity, power, and the consequences of our actions. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys fiction that delves into the depths of human emotion and the power of magic."
