The New York Times bestseller that inspired the Tony-winning hit musical and major motion picture

OVER 6 MILLION COPIES SOLD

Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and not long after entering Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens.

But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere.

Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance.

Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.

Commentaires

"A staggering feat of wordcraft." (Los Angeles Times)

"McDonough's excellent portrayals of Elphaba's outspoken, gravel-voiced nanny, Glinda's snobbish friends, and the wide-eyed, soft-spoken Dorothy make this excursion to Oz worthwhile." (Publishers Weekly)

I don't know if I want to see the movie now, I'm sure I'll be disappointed as I loved the book.

How contemporary this is

The story is really interesting but I really don't like the voice actor. His voice is really tiring to listen to...

I enjoyed a lot the story, the situations, the dialogues, the unexpected turns and the humour. I was expecting a bit to have music but it is more like your old grandfather was reading you a fantastic world story and he makes you consider if you would side with the young Witch defending the Animals or with the Wizard who seem to allow their mistreatments, which, I think, is quite comparable to our modern world issues still.

So that is what happened with the Witch!
