Unearth the forgotten wisdom of women in this gripping tale. 'Black Wood Women' by Michael Stewart is a visceral, serpentine narrative that demands to be consumed whole, as Stacey Halls aptly notes. The Daily Mail hails it as both 'grim and glorious', whilst the Sunday Post promises it will leave you gasping for air.

In the wilds of England, the last she-wolf roams, her belly swollen with unborn pups. Weary and famished, she flees from those who would see her kind eradicated.

Yorkshire, 1649. Caragh and her kin have concealed their true identities since fleeing Ireland, hoping to forge a new existence in England. However, when a zealous Protestant slaughters her parents in a bid to purge the region of Catholics, Caragh is forced to flee once more.

Her eastward journey leads her to a forest, where she encounters a coven of women who wear their tresses unbound and reject the constraints of patriarchal society. Yet, as Caragh finds solace amongst these kindred spirits, she remains oblivious to the looming threat of a different kind of persecution that stalks the black wood women, threatening to cut short their days of freedom in the forest.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
