Like all fairy tales there is a lesson here. Hoffman is a great storyteller and she does a marvelous job weaving this “fairy tale for adults.” Her characters and much more complex that I was expecting. But a particular challenge drew me to this work at this time, and I have to say that I’m glad I read it. I resisted reading anything by Hoffman as a result. I remember I thought little of it and quickly forgot it. I remember the movie starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock – vaguely. And things get weirder and weirder from that point forward. Then one rainy night, Gillian appears on Sally’s doorstep … with a dead man in her car. Older sister Sally is widowed with two young daughters of her own, settled in upstate New York. Years later, Gillian is twice divorced and living in Tucson with a very bad man. They turn their backs on magic and set out on their own. But when sisters Gillian and Sally are orphaned, they are taken in by their older aunts and endure years of taunting and teasing in their Massachusetts town. The Owens women have always been known for their beauty and have always had magical powers. 📌 Spells, Salt & Steel – Season One - Gail Z. 📌 Red-Headed Stepchild - Jaye Wells - 2★ 📌 An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed - Helene Tursten - 3★ 📌 Pretty, Pretty Boys - Gregory Ashe - 3★ 📌 The Devil's Highway - Luis Albert Urrea - 4★ 📌 The Dead Girls Club - Damien Angelica Walters -5★ 📌 Bread and Books - Hollis Shiloh - 3.5★ 📌 A House At The Bottom of a Lake - Josh Malerman - 3★ 📌 The Remaking of Corbin Wale - Roan Parrish - 5★
