Review

'mesmirising' ( Choice magazine )

'A lovely tale of desire and gastronomy' ( Irish Tatler )

Product Description


Welcome to Bascom, North Carolina, where it seems that everyone has a story to tell about the Waverley women. The house that's been in the family for generations, the walled garden that mysteriously blooms year round, the rumours of dangerous loves and tragic passions. Every Waverley woman is somehow touched by magic.


 


Claire has always clung to the Waverleys' roots,  tending the enchanted soil in the family garden from which she makes her sought-after delicacies - famed and feared for their curious effects. She has everything she thinks she needs - until one day she waked to find a stranger has moved in next door and a vine of ivy has crept into her garden . . .


Claire's carefully tended life is about to run gloriously out of control.

truly magical! 4 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is such a treat to read. Allen writes with such beauty and intrigue. Its so mystical, yet completely believable. The reader gets carried into the the wonderful world of Claire Waverley's garden, in North Carolina and you really can believe you are there, however you feel a sense of loss when you finish the book as you just want to keep on reading! Totally Enchanting!

I seem to be only one of a few who did not enjoy this book,I really thought I would enjoy 'Garden Spells', I had wanted to read it for a long time. Magic and food, gardens, romance......I expected a new warm tale.

Instead, I could not get into this book, I felt as though I was watching Practical Magic the movie, the story is almost the same and very predictable.......The characters are so familar I didnt want to read on. It is a shame I did not enjoy the book as I like the sound of her next book Sugar Queen, but I am not sure wether I will give it a go after this.......

If you want a practical magic re-make......then read this book.

By Damaskcat TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

If you don't believe magic is possible then don't read this book. Claire Waverley lives alone in the family house with its mysterious garden which blooms all the year round and an apple tree which is definitely not what it seems. Everything is peaceful and calm just how she likes it until several events serve to disrupt her routine. A new neighbour moves in next door and her estranged sister returns to the house. Claire's life will never be the same again. I half expected the book to be too sweet and cloying but it wasn't. There was just a hint of acid in it to prevent it being too much like eating a whole box of chocolates in one sitting. It is an easy read and a charming one and if you like Christina Jones then you will possibly like this as well.

Comfort reading
I don't normally go for this type of book - light, romantic, easy reading - but it really grabbed me in the same way as books like Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. Read more

Escapism
I loved this book from start to finish, it takes you out of the real world into a magical world, I can't wait to read more of her books.

Magical!
I really enjoyed this book. A lot of the plot and premise seems very similar to Alice Hoffman's 'Practical Magic', but it is a lot softer and happier than the story there. Read more

Beautiful writing
This book is a delight to read from start to finish. It is so very rare to find someone who writes so smoothly and so subtly, in layers. Is it perfect? No. Is it 'plagiarism'? Read more
