Witches fascinate, attract, worry ... How do today's women look at the figure of the witch? Novelists Stéphanie Janicot and Isabelle Sorente are guests of VMDN for their novels The awakening of witches published by Albin Michel and Le sorcière complex published by JC Lattès.

They are everywhere: witches are making a comeback in today's world. They use their magic to make themselves seen and heard, and the least we can say is that they have things to tell us. But who are they, exactly? With our two guests today, we are going to follow in their footsteps: Isabelle Sorente publishes The witch complex at JCLattès, a self-fiction investigative novel that immerses us in the cauldron of the past and in the boiling of the present. And in her new novel, Stéphanie Janicot recounts questions about the death of a healer-magnetizer with an enigmatic personality and past. The awakening of witches was published by Albin Michel.
