Any additional comments?
This wonderful novel is reminiscent of Hoffman's Practical Magic and Livesey's Eva Moves the Furniture. Magical. Tragic. Ultimately uplifting. the notion of a house full of historical and literary women who help lost souls find themselves is an enchanting one. Sastre's reading is dynamic, insightful, and entertaining.
