OLDER FICTION
Brignull, Irena

The Hawkweed Legacy

(4) YA Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends--the tapestry of female relationships among the witches who populate this sequel (The Hawkweed Prophecy) also generates many rivalries. Alternating between current events and flashbacks to a generation earlier, Brignall concludes the story of witches Charlock and Betony, ripped apart years earlier but reunited by their respective children, Poppy and Leo. Tangled storytelling complicated by multiple viewpoints undermines the ambitious novel.
