Silvia Moreno Garcia wrote another epic book. I did nothing but eat, sleep, and read The Bewitching for three days. It’s an incredibly written story of three women’s lives; Alba, the daughter of a farmer whose land in Mexico seems to be bewitched in 1908, Beatrice, an aspiring writer who recounts the last days of a friend who vanishes in 1934, and Minerva, Alba’s great-granddaughter a college student living in the Massachusetts searching for answers in Beatrice’s writing and her great-grandmother’s wisdom. The story engulfs you from the first page and the mystery, suspense, and witchy tales keep you in from page to page. I loved it!
