Călărași: A Novel
By Onyeka Nwelue
In the mysterious Romanian town of Călărași, Bianca Maria, a 96-year-old witch, takes it upon herself to curse the politicians in Bucharest.
Her unusual life takes an unexpected turn when a wealthy man, Don Bănică, approaches her with a proposal to buy her land filled with trees. When he vows to claim the land at any cost—or threatens that something terrible will happen to her—Bianca Maria responds with a curse that sends shockwaves through the corridors of power.
Soon, politicians affected by her curses flock to the town, desperately seeking healing. What follows is a compelling tale of power, fear, political influence and the mysterious consequences of challenging forces beyond one’s control.
With its striking imagery and intriguing premise, Călărași invites readers into a world where ancient beliefs collide with modern political ambition.
