Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed.

Una notte in una casa nel bosco, un gatto fantasma affida a Prendiluna, una vecchia maestra in pensione, una Missione da cui dipendono le sorti dell'umanità. I Diecimici devono essere consegnati a dieci Giusti. È vero o è un'allucinazione? A partire da questo momento non saprete mai dove vi trovate, se in un mondo onirico farsesco e imprevedibile, in un sogno Matrioska in un Trisogno profetico, se state vivendo nel delirio di un pazzo o nella crudele realtà dei nostri tempi.

Buying into the dream that education is the road out of poverty, a teen mom takes a chance on bettering herself, gets on welfare rolls, and talks her way into college. But once she's there, phallocratic narratives permeate every subject, and creative writing professors depend heavily on Freytag's pyramid to analyze life. So Ariel turns to a rich subcultural canon of resistance and failure, populated by writers like Audre Lorde, Tillie Olsen, and Kathy Acker. Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes, We Were Witches documents the survival of a demonized single mother.

Er stand nicht auf meinem Plan... Nachdem meine Mutter ihren brutalen Freund meinem Wohl vorgezogen hatte, blieb mir als Kind nur das kalte Zimmer eines alten Londoner Kinderheims.

Und sieh mal einer an, meine Mutter ist auch da. Am liebsten möchte ich tot umfallen, als mich der Richter zur Strafe mit ihr nach Süd-Frankreich schickt. Halt, ich nehme es zurück. Lieber soll sie tot umfallen!
