One day, she sees Justin, who's Uncle owns a very curious and odd antiques shop, Fawkes and Ibis. He looks just like Jonah, an American spy that Evelyn worked with, and fell in love with, during World War 2. Can it be Jonah has been reincarnated?
This story is very entertaining. It's told in two parts; what's going on now, with Evelyn and Justin, and her crazy family, and Evelyn's story about working as a spy in World War 2. Justin has no idea about Evelyn's true nature. Can Evelyn keep up her disguise? Will they find love together?
The characters are funny and quirky, and the world of white witchcraft is full of interesting customs, rules, and conventions. This book worked it's magic on me--I couldn't put it down!
If you like the literary world of magical realism, this is perfect for you. Like Alice Hoffman? Like Sarah Addison? You will love Camille DeAngelis. I am eager to read whatever else she has written.
so its not scary? i don't like to be afraid at night... its sounds fun, but i don't wanna be spooked!
ReplyDeleteIt's not scary at all; it's a love story, plus whimsical, eccentric old witches. Really a lot of fun! The only scary part are the Nazis in WW2.
