书籍简介

在一个宁静的小镇上，一位平庸的女巫，婚姻也平淡无奇，试图将自己的天赋传给一对双胞胎女儿。然而，女儿们的天赋却远超母亲，这一点很快就显露出来。

“恩迪亚耶耀眼的作品”——凯蒂·北村

“这是恩迪亚耶令人不安的精彩之作”——《纽约杂志》

露西出身于一个世代相传的女巫家族，力量由母亲传给女儿。她的母亲拥有强大的魔法，却对自己的魔法感到羞耻。或许正因如此，露西自身的天赋十分微弱：她有时能预知未来，但更多时候，她只能看到某个地方的当下。这几乎毫无用处。更糟糕的是，她所能看到的永远都是些无关紧要的细节——一块衣角，天空的颜色。

露西的孩子们在十二岁时便要接受家族中独特的女性仪式。短短几个月后，莫德和莉丝便流下了象征她们魔法力量的奇特血泪。学会之后，她们迅速离家，离开了家。字面意义上的离家。

《女巫》这部作品诙谐、梦幻、略带不安，却又无比迷人（此处双关），它将女性和母性的奥秘刻画得淋漓尽致，让我们在看似牢不可破的关系接连破裂的背景下，徘徊在崩溃的边缘，被各种疑问所困扰。

谁该为家庭的失败负责？而你又该如何——真的能够吗？——建造一个无人愿意飞翔的巢穴？

In 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.

'NDiaye at her most dazzling' Katie Kitamura

'This is NDiaye at her disquieting best' New York Magazine

Lucie 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.

Lucie'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.

Witty, dreamlike, vaguely unsettling, and utterly enchanting (pun intended), The Witch brings 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.

Who is to blame for family failures? And how can you - can you? - build a nest that no one wants to fly?
