Kurzbeschreibung
Seven years is a long time to stay away from home. But when Jane Gregory left Pendleton, Vermont, she was running from a life gone wrong. Now she's returning to town with her young son--and Pendleton will never be the same again.
Jane never wanted to believe that the Gregory women have a special power. But the magic she'd shunned comes rushing back as soon as she walks into her mother's old house. The faded rosebush in the yard suddenly bursts with color, and the lovelorn are coming to her for advice. Even the sensible town doctor, Graham Payton, can't stay away.
Yet Jane has something more important on her mind: her son. The little boy has never spoken a word in his life, and she's determined to find out why. But Jane is about to discover that she's not immune to the potent charms she's unleashed--that there's room in her heart for love after all. And maybe a little magic too.

Format:Taschenbuch
Few books have captured my imagination like this one did. A big, wonderful, surprising and uplifting book of love and friendship. Ranks with Deborah Smith's A Place to Call Home as one of my all time favorites - and to think I literally stumbled upon it. I have only one question - why isn't a book this good being promoted by the publisher and published in hardcover like other books of its quality?
Format:Taschenbuch
Magic Spells had me hooked from cover to cover. The writing is rich and sensual. Every scene and every character have bold texture, creating beautifully stunning images in the mind's eye. The author's voice is bold and poetic. Magic Spells explores the full range of human existence, from the darkest, most despairing moments, to the power of hope, to the ultimate triumph of love. Sometimes soft, sometimes gritty, there is an underlying truth that cuts right to the bone. This is a powerful piece of work.
Format:Taschenbuch
For all you witches out there this is not a book on how to do spells it is just a dumb love story.

Interesting Characters
One thing I liked about the book was that the magic spells/thoughts was a background theme unlike Practical Magic that tried to make the characters and the magic front focal spots. Lesen Sie weiter...

A book for anyone who has ever yearned for love.
The thing I liked most about this novel was the way the main characters rang true. Hasn't everyone loved someone they couldn't have? Lesen Sie weiter...

Not exactly Hoffman.
"Practical Magic" ain't what this book is. Too often the prose goes overboard until it is substanceless. Lesen Sie weiter...
