White is for Witching

In a house high up on the Dover cliffs, the Silver family is hurting from the loss of Lily, mother of twins and beloved wife. The family’s capricious home once belonged to Lily’s ancestors. Now, the girl twin, Miranda, is not only connected to the spirit world but has an appetite for eating chalk. Forcing apples to grow in winter, revealing and hiding secret floors, the house is quite possessive of the young girl who misses her mother. . . to an unhealthy, dangerous degree.

“White is for Witching, Helen Oyeyemi’s third novel, won a 2010 Somerset Maugham Award. The multi-layered narrative explores a disparate range of themes including grieving and the impact of mental illness. Told from several different perspectives, White is for Witching is a lyrically written story with its own, individual take on the Haunted House concept in literature.”
