Der Sommer 2003 beginnt wie immer: Freibad, Bandproben, die Leichen in Papas Keller. Dominik ist der Sohn des örtlichen Bestatters und soll den Familienbetrieb in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft von seinem alleinerziehenden Vater übernehmen. Bislang sprach nichts dagegen, denn Domi ist erstaunlich routiniert im Umgang mit Trauernden und weiß mehr über Tod und Verlust als die meisten Erwachsenen.

So Ariel turns to a rich subcultural canon of resistance and failure, populated by writers like Audre Lorde, Tillie Olsen, and Kathy Acker. Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes, We Were Witches documents the survival of a demonized single mother.
