## Caption

Watch Indira Varma read from The Witch, the #InternationalBooker2026 shortlisted book written by Marie NDiaye and translated by Jordan Stump. The story so far: Lucie comes from a long line of witches, powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mother was formidable in her powers, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie’s own gift is weak. Lucie’s children are initiated into their family’s peculiar womanhood when they reach 12 years of age, and in a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying the curious tears of blood that denote their magical powers. Directed by Holly Blakey, produced in partnership with Park Pictures and filmed at the Southbank Centre, London.
