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 Historical Fiction Literary Fiction

An immersive and moving experience

This is a beautifully written and compelling story. I was completely drawn into Alice's world and rooted for her, despite her not being your conventional heroine. Heartening and moving to see this woman's story being reclaimed. Stunning performance too.
