The Witch

In a small French town, a mediocre witch trapped in a cruel marriage passes her inherited powers to her twin daughters, Maud and Lise, who must decide whether to remain bound to their suffocating home or escape their father’s control. As part of a long lineage of women who have hidden their gifts to appease fearful men, their mother Lucie defies her husband by initiating the girls into their supernatural heritage at twelve.

Within months, the twins’ abilities surpass Lucie’s, bringing both exhilaration and danger as they taste a freedom their foremothers never knew. Dreamlike yet unsettling, the story explores the fragile bonds of family, the tensions of motherhood and marriage, and the unsettling realization that the next generation may be more powerful—and more perilous—than those who came before.
