I enjoyed this book -- it was whimsical and fun -- and a take on a modern day 'witch' hunt. I liked the pull of modern medicine with non-traditional -- and a fun read is always nice. ( ) If you're a fan of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic (and who isn't - 25th anniversary this year!), you'll enjoy this novel set on Cape Cod. Three sisters live together in a lobstering village settled by their ancestors and run a nursery with flowers and plants that bloom exorbitantly and frequently off-season. When Henry, a new young doctor and Iraq war medic, settles in town, he is fascinated by Patience, the youngest sister, but when a tragic death occurs and the town blames her, he wavers about being in her corner. This is a good beach read, a bit wispy but the writing holds up as does the reader's interest. I loved this book. The Sparrow sisters have a nursery and are known around town for their healing abilities. Patience Sparrow knows just what will help pretty much anything that bothers you. Henry is the new doctor in town. He is fascinated by the town's belief that Patience is a healer. He is unable to believe at first but soon he starts falling for Patience. Then someone dies and a finger is pointed at Patience. Did one of her remedies kill someone? I loved the magical realism, the nursery, the characters, the love story. When I learned the next book is a sequel I instantly added it to my TBR list. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: "A haunting, magical, modern-day fairytale. A feast for the senses." â??Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author of First Frost With echoes of the alchemy of Practical Magic, the lushness of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, and the darkly joyful wickedness of the Witches of Eastwick, Ellen Herrick's debut novel spins an enchanting love story about a place where magic whispers just beneath the surface and almost anything is possible, if you aren't afraid to listen. The Sparrow Sisters are as tightly woven into the seaside New England town of Granite Point as the wild sweet peas that climb the stone walls along the harbor. Sorrel, Nettie and Patience are as colorful as the beach plums on the dunes and as mysterious as the fog that rolls into town at dusk. The Sparrow Sisters is a beautiful, haunting, and thoroughly mesmerizing novel that will capture your imagination No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
