We Hexed the Moon

Ali Smith says:

“Some teenage girls have – yes – performed a spell and

hexed the moon. Now the moon, smooth-skinned, street- smart, dryly witty, seductive, powerful beyond belief, is literally hanging out in one of their bedrooms. Pitch Perfect gone cosmic: in stylish sleight of hand and with pleasurable bravado this pop song of a novella reveals the huge

issues, importances, losses, survivals, impotence and

potencies in the everyday existence of a group of best

friends and their families, a community of small-town people living their lives between naïvety and experience, youth and age, on the surface of the western world, in the unexpected absence – and intimate presence – of moonlight.
