The extraordinary novel tracing a centuries-old curse back to its beginning from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and THE DOVEKEEPERS
We first met the Owens in the glorious novel Practical Magic. We discovered the tragedy of the Owens siblings in Rules of Magic. Now we learn how it all began... with a baby abandoned in a snowy English field in the 1600s. Under the care of gentle Hannah Owens, little Maria learns about the 'Unnamed Arts'. Maria has a gift for them - a gift that may well prove her undoing.
When Maria is abandoned by the man she loves, she invokes the curse that will haunt her family for centuries. Because magic has rules, and they must be followed. This is the lesson that Maria will carry with her for the rest of her life, and pass on to her children and her children's children.

PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature Toni Morrison I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war.But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader. Jodi Picoult In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, womens solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic thats quietly present in our day-to-day living. PutThe Dovekeepersat the pinnacle of Hoffmans extraordinary body of work. I was blown away. Wally Lamb Alice Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things. Amy Tan Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is!Hoffmans exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and thehumanityshe brings to us it is a glorious experience.' Elizabeth Strout. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR011837858
