Marielle Thompson joined me to chat about how her love for Edinburgh and its history inspired her latest novel The Last Witch in Edinburgh, which covers ideas of identity, belonging, and the politics of witch trials, wrapped in a love letter to her former home. We also talk about the power of representation in books, witchcraft (of course), and weaving folklore into contemporary narratives.

The Last Witch of Edinburgh is available wherever you buy books and you can follow Marielle's work on Instagram or learn more at her website.
