Description: "Love, magic, history, witches: it's all here, between the covers of this lovely book. Updike might have written it, if he'd had a better sense of humor." --Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish "A charming curiosity shop of a novel, packed to bursting with secret histories and glittering marvels. With Petty Magic , Camille DeAngelis has given us a glimpse into a strange and enchanting world. It's dangerous good fun, and well worth getting lost in." --Jedediah Berry, author of The Manual of Detection "Part Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants , part Bedknobs and Broomsticks , DeAngelis's second novel uses witchcraft to illuminate a woman whose wrinkles belie the passionate, adventurous girl she still is on the inside. Recommended for fans of magical realism--emphasis on the magic." -- Library Journal "A moving and witty love story ... Charming prose." -- Publishers Weekly "An amusing romp!" -- Booklist
