LAS BRUJAS
by CELSO CASTRO
Description
What would you do if your father abandons you? What would you do if your mother and brother hate you because you look like him? What would you do if you find out that you were actually breastfed by a witch?
What would you do if that witch's daughter - your milk sister - falls in love with you?
A young man narrates, by way of a confession, the story of his relationship with Lorena, daughter of a witch and his milk sister, since her mother was his wet nurse. With a discursive voice that follows his most intimate thoughts, we also become witnesses of the relationship he maintains with his family, his mother and brother despising him for his physical resemblance to the father who abandoned them. Spellbound by Lorena, the narrator will be condemned both to love her and to hate her.

Reviews
"En una novela como las brujas, con una cuidada dimensión “sobrenatural”, uno estaría tentado de llamarlo “método psicofónico”; aunque sería más atinado comparar la escritura de Castro con aquellos famosos retratos (o pasaportes para el más allá) sobre las momias de Al Fayum: una maravillosa combinación de naturalidad y trascendencia, de relieve de vida. Por eso Castro nunca es repetitivo. Y uno no se imagina mayor gozo que leer sus libros, uno tras otro."
