Sarah Addison Allen - My magical garden
Publisher's:
"Take a pinch of marigold to stimulate the feeling of a shot snapdragon to repel evil influences, and fill in the mixture with rose petals to caress of love. "
This is one of the recipes from Claire Waverley, which has a thriving catering service. The secret of their success is the use of edible flowers from the garden at home, engaged in a magical effect. Claire is in the tradition of the Waverley women, who has always had a special gift and could intervene in the fate of the people. Claire's own life is not very enchanting - it has withdrawn completely in an old house in Bascom, North Carolina, and is fighting back against everything that is new and different.
But one day, Claire is suddenly uprooted from their rest: Sydney, her younger sister, is with her daughter Bay at the door and seek refuge from her brutal husband Claire feels initially by the lively Sydney disturbed. But then immersed Sydney man in Bascom, and the two sisters must overcome their differences. They reflect on their old apple tree and forge a not so magical plan ... "
It's about the sisters Claire and Sydney, could not be more different. While Claire has accepted that the people in the small town they think is strange, Sydney tries to live a different life, one that is adventurous and free, like the life that, as believes, has led her mother. But it seems as if all the paths of Waverley's early or later in the Small town back, and so one day Sydney is back before Claire's door. Sydney has her little daughter with him, and obviously fleeing from something. They will not tell you what, and so does Claire what a woman does Waverley, she takes on her sister and their child and help them. What she does not realize is that Sydney is not only her own life this way again get, but still the same messed up her big sister. And above it all reigns the magic apple tree in the family, and throws some with apples or steal images, just because he likes the people in the pictures Sun
History reminds me every time back to the movie "Practical Magic" became a movie with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, but unlike other books or movies, the "lean" on a template, the book does not lose its thus to a charm. On the contrary. Claire is quirky as Sandra in the film and Sydney not so crazy, but both are lovely to watch and how they both are ensnared by two completely different men, while their crazy old aunt the gay Lebensmittelverkä ; bank helps is just always nice. So beautiful that the surprisingly flat end of the first dramatic story is no longer important.
