The Bewitching follows three women, in three different timelines: Alba in 1900s Mexico, Beatrice during the great depression in Massachusetts, and Minerva in the 1990s, who’s connected to both women as she is Alba’s granddaughter and attends the same university as Beatrice, who is also the focus of Minerva’s thesis.
