The Daylight Gate, an instantaneous best seller in the united kingdom, is award-winning Jeanette Winterson's singular eye-sight of the dark amount of complicated morality, gender, and tragic plays for power in a time when politics and faith were tightly intertwined. Following the Gunpowder Storyline of 1605, every Catholic conspirator in England fled to a wild, untamed place definately not the reach of London laws. On Good Fri, 1612, deep in the woods of Pendle Hill, amid baptismal swimming pools and low, thick fog, a gathering of 13 is interrupted by the local magistrate. Two of their coven have already been imprisoned for witchcraft and are awaiting trial, but those who continue to be are vouched for by the wealthy and respectable Alice Nutter. Shrouded in secret and gifted with eternally youthful beauty, Alice is established in Lancashire culture and protected by her fortune. Yet she is also plagued by rumors of the dark and torrid romance with another woman, the matriarch of the notorious Demdike clan. As those accused of witchcraft retreat into darkness, Alice stands exclusively as a realm-crosser, a conjurer of forces that will either damage her or place her free.
