Helpful Score: 3
I picked this book up after reading the author's previous book, Garden Spells, expecting exactly what I got: a story of women coming into themselves, journeys of discovery, and endings wrapped up neatly. The characters are likable and the dashes of magic are fun, not overwhelming. I do have to say that there were a few elements in this book that reminded me again (as did parts of Garden Spells) of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.
The writing in this book is better than the writer's previous title, but I think that there was more heart in the former and I almost felt like, as a reader, I was kept at arm's length. I wanted a little more detail and a little more depth, but the plots and sub-plots were good. I would recommend this book, but will caution is is almost too fast a read, and I wish I hadn't felt a little rushed. That said, it was a great cold, rainy afternoon companion.
