tropicwitchgirl's review against another edition
audiobook was difficult to follow with two POVs, and the narrator did not make the conversations feel natural when they are supposed to be interviews. will try again as a regular book

I think the way this is translated is wonderful, at the same time it is very different and so it took me a little while to understand that this book is written in 2 povs of 2 different characters. The storytelling itself is very good and puts so much magic into the women's stories.

I struggled a little bit with the writing structure of this one. The chapters are all written in first person and alternate between the two women. I found this confusing at first because the similarities in the two women's lives meant that I really had to pay attention to identify the narrator. But I'm convinced that this is a story that gets lost in translation since there were so many gold nuggets and beautiful writing within the disjointed storyline.

A novel based on some real people, a fascinating look into a different culture than my own

With unique prose and interesting characters, Witches weaves together multiple stories that will keep you spellbound. A story about women and the relationships we have with those around us- but especially other women (mothers, sisters, selves), A reminder that our intuition makes us all a little bit of a witch.
