Sarah Addison Allen’s debut novel centers around a family of women, the Waverleys, all of whom have unusual talents. A wayward Waverley sister, young daughter in tow, returns to her hometown seeking safety from a bad relationship. She has to make peace with the family--and the town--she left behind. Though nothing about the plot will surprise readers, the characters are engaging and the ending satisfying. Fans of Alice Hoffman (especially Practical Magic), Laura Esquivel and Lorna Landvik will enjoy the strong relationships and gentle magical realism. --Katy S.Request Garden Spells from the Saint Paul Public Library.
