Premi Merce Rodoreda de contes i narracions 2023Relacions exquisidament ambigues, amistats toxiques, matriarcats que protegeixen i salven, anhels que es mantenen latents durant anys i que reviuen... Les histories de Perdonam per desitjar-ho tant estan protagonitzades per dones en moments vitals diferents, des de la infantesa fins a la maduresa, que intenten sortir de lentorn hostil que les envolta i que forja irremissiblement la seva identitat. Originals i agosarats, els relats de Carme Serna defugen limpacte efectista i, en canvi, conviden a gaudir de cada ratlla del joc que proposen fins arribar a la fi: amb força verbal, prosa rica i versatil i una bona dosi de foscor que no es contradiu amb lhumor, la dolcesa o leuforia narrativa.

Set in the same universe as the acclaimed All the Murmuring Bones and The Path of Thorns (one of Oprah Dailys Top 25 Fantasy Novels of 2022), this beautifully told Gothic fairy tale of ghosts, witches, deadly secrets and past sins, will be perfect for fans of Hannah Whitten and Ava Reid.Ellie Briar is the first non-witch to be born into her family for generations. The Briar family of witches run the town of Silverton, caring for its inhabitants with their skills and magic. In the usual scheme of things, they would be burnt for their sorcery, but the church has given them dispensation in return for their protection of the borders of the Darklands, where the much-feared Leech Lords hold sway.Ellie is being trained as a steward, administering for the town, and warding off the insistent interest of the church. When her grandmother dies suddenly, Ellies cousin Audra rises to the position of Briar Witch, propelling Ellie into her new role. As she navigates fresh challenges, an unexpected new ability to see and speak to the dead leads her to uncover sinister family secrets, stories of burnings, lost grimoires and evil spells. Reeling from one revelation to the next, she seeks answers from the long dead and is forced to decide who to trust, as a devastating plot threatens to destroy everything the Briar witches have sacrificed so much to build.Told in the award-winning authors trademark gorgeous, addictive prose, this is an intricately woven tale of a family of witches struggling against the bonds of past sins and persecution.
