The Witches of Moonshyne Manor
by Bianca Marais
Why read it
It is a charming, cheeky romp celebrating older women, found family, and feminist solidarity. Centered on a delightfully eccentric coven of octogenarian witches trying to stave off foreclosure and an angry town mob, the story weaves humor, cozy chaos, and real emotional depth into an immensely entertaining, magical caper.
Where to get it
For listening in the Netherlands, the English audiobook narrated by Amy Landon is available on Audible, Storytel, Nextory, Kobo Plus, and Apple Books, as well as via the Online Bibliotheek (or Libby) depending on your local library branch's digital English catalogue. Ebooks and physical copies can be ordered through Bol.com, Amazon.nl, and major Dutch bookstores like Athenaeum Boekhandel, Donner, and Scheltema.
What to expect
An upbeat, warm, and humorous tone paired with brisk pacing and lighthearted caper energy. It is an accessible, easy read/listen with multiple perspectives, featuring themes of aging, sisterhood, and anti-patriarchal defiance, alongside brief content notes for references to past trauma, grief, and mild fantasy peril.
