{"product_id":"the-witch","title":"The Witch","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a small, sleepy town, a mediocre witch, in a mediocre marriage, tries to pass on her gifts to her twin daughters, who, it becomes immediately apparent, have skills far beyond her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucie comes from a long line of witches, powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mum was formidable in her powers, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie's own gift is weak: she can see into the future, sometimes - but more often, she can only see the present of some other location. Not very useful. And the worst part? All she can ever see are insignificant details - a scrap of outfit, the colour of the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucie's own children are initiated into their family's peculiar womanhood when they reach twelve years of age, and in a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying the curious tears of blood that denote their magical powers. Having learned, they take off quickly and fly the nest. Literally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWitty, dreamlike, vaguely unsettling, and utterly enchanting (pun intended), \u003cem\u003eThe Witch \u003c\/em\u003ebrings the mysteries of womanhood and motherhood into sharp relief and leaves us teetering on the edge, unbalanced by questions as seemingly unbreakable relationships break down left and right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho is to blame for family failures? And how can you - can you? - build a nest that no one wants to fly?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marie NDiaye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45262079852591,"sku":"9781529449389","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781529449389.jpg?v=1777463842","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/the-witch","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
