Having escaped from a childhood world of mystical mayhem, lived under the watchful gaze of their two elderly guardian aunts, Gillian and Sally Owens, along with their own children, are re-united with their aunts later in life. Together, the women share an experience of unexpected insight.

Industry Reviews

Two sisters live with their guardian aunts in an antique creaking house where toads cackle in the backyard and village women call to collect love potions or to learn useful magic spells. The nieces need to get away from their unusual background. One elopes with a villain; the other marries a good man, but there is no escape from magic in this family. A highly original tale of murder, magic and mayhem that is immensely readable and ultimately cheering. (Kirkus UK)
