This is a really fantastic book. It will make you believe in magic. It is contemporary magic realism, in that the world of the book is absolutely the real world and yet, you believe the magic. It's a love story/folk tale that reminds us why we tell folk tales and that fairy tales in their original form are mostly tragic. And yet, you are uplifted.
Very mystical and sad but hopeful!
Very intense and off-beat novel by the author of Linden Hills and Bailey's Cafe about witchcraft and folk remedies in South Carolina.
