And I'm Kate.
At the moment, it's like that feeling just before Christmas.
But you don't know if it's going to be exciting or if it's going to be a kick in the tits.
It is exciting.
It's going to be exciting.
If nothing else, it's very pretty.
Spectacularly well written.
No, no.
But it is.
No, and that's why I was drawn to it.
So the thing that I find really fascinating about the Icelandic witch trials is that 93% of everyone that was convicted and executed for the crime of witchcraft there was a man.
Which does rather go against the mold that were often handed this kind of narrative has sprung up around the witch trials that it was a persecution of women and that it was about the patriarchy.
And I'm not going to pretend that that wasn't the case in some places in England and Scotland and in the Americas.
But there was plenty of other places where more men than women were accused.
It wasn't just Iceland.
It was the case in Russia.
It was the case in Lithuania.
It was a case in Normandy.
In the Burgundy area, it was pretty much 50-50.
So it's really widespread.
