I find it very clever that someone can write a full and brilliant story in such a small amount of words. 

I love Margaret Atwood's style of writing, I think he is incredibly quick witted and very clever. 

This story is short and packs a punch.

There is a lot of love out there for this one... but aside from the author being absolutely amazing, I don't get the hype. A short story not meant for me, I guess 🤷‍♀️

I really enjoyed this story!

A wonderfully delicious short story to listen to while getting in a few miles of walking for exercise or something similar. It's the story of a girl and her very eccentric mom. Is the mom really a witch? Is she mentally unbalanced? Is she just spinning a tale for her daughter? The daughter ponders the question and tries to examine the evidence as the years go by...
