Green, Marie Desplechin

At eleven years old, little Verte still shows no talent for witchcraft. Worse yet, she says she wants to be a normal person and get married. She also seems interested in the boys in her class and doesn't hide her disgust when she sees a brew simmering, intended to poison the neighbors' dog. Her mother, Ursule, is dismayed. It's so important for a witch to pass on her craft to her daughter. As a last resort, she decides to entrust Verte one day a week to her grandmother, Anastabotte, since they seem to get along so well. From the very first session, the results are excellent. One could even say they exceed Ursule's expectations. Perhaps a little too much.
