"Garden Spells" Book Review

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen, is a New York Times best seller. It also rates well on Amazon.

This review comes from friend and cozy mystery writer, Sally Handley. So if you're looking for a great fun summer read, try this book. (I have not read it yet, but plan to read it soon.)

The story line is that two sisters, abandoned by their mother when the girls were young, live very different lives.Claire stays in her home town, and tends a garden that produces magical powers, while Sydney, the other sister, totally different from Claire, leaves home. When Sydney returns, it throws Claire's world into unexpected turmoil.

The question is this; How will the sisters work out their differences and confront their past?

Garden Spells is whimsical fiction, (probably called chick-lit) set in the South that brings you under its spell. With a charming and quirky cast of likeable characters, the story begins with this line.

"Every smiley moon, without fail, Claire dreamed of her childhood. She always tried to stay awake those nights when the stars winked and the moon was just a cresting sliver smiling provocatively down at the world, the way pretty women on vintage billboards used to smile as they sold cigarettes and limeade."
