About
What do we inherit from the women who came before us—and what happens when that inheritance refuses to stay buried? Join Marie NDiaye, acclaimed French author of The Witch (translated by Jordan Stump), and Amanda Peters, author of The Birthing Tree, as they share stories about family, motherhood, tradition and the secrets that shape generations. In NDiaye’s dreamlike novel, a mother passes a mysterious power down to her daughters, confronting questions of womanhood, liberation and the fragile bonds between generations. Peters follows a woman returning home after her grandmother’s death, uncovering long-held family secrets and reconnecting with the traditions and women who shaped her life. This insightful conversation between the two authors will explore the mysteries of inheritance—what we carry from our mothers and grandmothers, what we choose to reject, and what it means to find our way back to ourselves.
