When the Moon Was Ours By Anna-Marie McLemore

This is the story of Miel and Sam. Miel, who doesn’t remember her past and drowns the roses growing on her wrists in the river. Sam, who paints moons to ward off other people’s nightmares and wonders if he’ll ever feel comfortable in his own body. Together they will have to face the Bonners, four sisters rumored to be witches. Famous for their beauty, they are willing to risk everything to take Miel’s roses. With poetic and unforgettable prose, McLemore composes a story of acceptance and love filled with magic and diversity. Translated by Aitana Vega. The edition includes an afterword on contemporary magical realism and several illustrated details created exclusively for this publication.
