Product Information

Allen continues to serve heaping helpings of the fantastic and the familiar in fiction she describes as “Southern-fried magic realism. Welcome to Bascom,North Carolina, where it seems that everyone has a story to tell about the Waverley women. These weren't a part of the Waverley legacy of edible flowers, but sleepless as she often was, Claire had added flowers to the garden to give her something to do at night when she was so wound up that frustration singed the edge of her nightgown and she set tiny fires with her fingertips. It is an easy read and a charming one and if you like Christina Jones then you will possibly like this as well.

The handsome man who has moved in next door who makes no secret of his attraction to Claire doesn’t help her preference for calm solitude either. Obvs they are portrayed as dysfunctional, but the book seems similarly preoccupied with who will get with who in the towns romantic relationships, I find myself not caring and a bit grossed out! Evanelle, who had twenty-eight sweet teeth, all of them false, picked up her coffee and looked over at the covered cake plate on the stainless-steel island. It’s there in the first sentence: “smiley moon” rather than crescent, or even sliver of a moon, sure.Haunted by ghosts old and new, the Waverly sisters must come to terms with everything that has torn their family apart and everything that can put them back together.
