About the book: 2009 / The novel "The April Witch" brought its author, writer and journalist Maigull Axelsson, dizzying success all over the world, as well as the August Strindberg Prize - Sweden's main literary award. The book has been translated into fifteen languages, and its circulation today amounts to seven figures. At the center of a piercing modern drama is the intertwining of the destinies of four women, four sisters. The first of them has been bedridden since birth, the second is a successful doctor, the third is a physicist, the fourth is a complete drug addict... Paralyzed, abandoned by her mother in the care of social services, Desiree is one of those who are called witches. She is endowed with a sharp mind and an amazing ability to fly through time and space, interfering in the lives of those who are dear to her or, on the contrary, have caused harm. “One of my sisters stole the life that was meant for me. I want to know which one,” this is the goal of Desiree, deprived of all earthly joys. The struggle for survival, growing up, overcoming loneliness and the search for love - this is the emotional background against which a breathtaking phantasmagoria unfolds, where the real and everyday coexist organically with the supernatural and magical.
