A short story that leaves you wondering about witches in the world. Margaret Atwood weaves this tale around a message about being a parent, and the changes we go through as we age (particularly the difficulties with teens!).

I absolutely loved it, just as I thought I would!!! The perfect mix between mystical, mysterious, ironic, amusing and endearing. Something of Hamnet and The Master and Margarita in it (which are two of my favourite books). Also Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird.
I really enjoy these kind of short stories where we follow a character's life and see it from a bigger perspective. AND it had the best ending! <3
All throughout the (very short and sweet) read I envisioned how I would turn it into a short film or mini series and it looked so good in my head...So, this miiiight be going in my bucket list hehe. :)
