Synopsis

A Long Day in Lychford is the third audiobook in Paul Cornell's increasingly popular Witches of Lychford series.

It's a period of turmoil in Britain, with the country's politicians electing to remove the UK from the European Union, despite ever-increasing evidence that the public no longer supports it. And the small town of Lychford is suffering.

But what can three rural witches do to guard against the unknown? And why are unwary hikers being led over the magical borders by their smartphones' mapping software? And is the immigration question really important enough to kill for?

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on November 19, 2017

What happened? This novella has nothing of the charm that the previous novella had. I was looking forward to reading the next installment in this series and it took me several times to finish it because I just couldn't find the storyline remotely interesting. Brexit, people that are disappearing, an......more

Goodreads review by Trish on June 03, 2021

The Brexit vote is about to take place in this 3rd volume and tensions are high in Lychford. Since Autumn herself is one of the "brown people" as some terrible residents are calling it, she feels very uncomfortable and is aghast how little she can talk to otherwise nice people about it. They just do......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on June 03, 2021

Probably the biggest theme in this one is borders. Be it borders between employee/teacher, Brexit horribleness, or even the borders between the Fae world and the human world, it's always the biggest source of conflict. Of course, when we get right down to it, be it Brexit or attempting to set up new......more

Quotes

"Cornell's brand of magic is delightfully atmospheric and refreshing." —Publishers Weekly

Praise for WITCHES OF LYCHFORD

"At once epic and terribly intimate. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that; not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is Cornell at the height of his craft." —Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children and October Daye series

"Paul Cornell has written a marvelous story, rich in charm, about local politics and witchcraft writ small and personal, but large in consequence." —Bill Willingham, author of Fables and Down the Mysterly River

"Masterfully creepy and sinister, all the more so for taking place in the beautifully drawn english countryside." —Jenny Colgan, author of Doctor Who: Into the Nowhere
