""Witchlight" is a fabulous New Age novel that is as good as its predecessor, "Ghostlight"."--"The Midwest Book Review"
"It's a good read, a challenging puzzle with some unusual twists."-"-Locus"
"Fans of "The Mists of Avalon" will recognize familiar plot elements in this contemporary fantasy quest. Bradley can still spin a web of tangle relationships and motivations."-"-Publishers Weekly"

Product Description
Marion Zimmer Bradley, one of the most beloved and praised fantasy storytellers of our time, has once again written a compelling and powerful novel with larger-than-life characters.
Winter Musgrave's past is largely blank, her memories missing or tissue-thin. She seem to be possessed--objects shatter when she passes, the corpses of animal appear on her doorstep. And she has the terrible feeling that something horrible happened in her empty past--results of which are now haunting her with unbridled fury.
Seeking help, Winter turns to Truth Jourdemayne and learns that the key to unlocking her lost memories lies within herself--and in the magickal circle of friends in college. But the circle was broken long ago. Winter must reconstruct it is she is to save her life.
Not just the story of a woman's search for her missing past, "Witchlight "is a powerful novel of contemporary fantasy that pulls readers in and hold them until the final page. Anyone who loves good contemporary fiction will devour "Witchlight."

although some of those reviewing this book did not seem to appreciate it,i feel this stems from a lack of understanding or interest in the occult...i found it brilliant...once again bradley portrays this modern day story of magick as it truly is, and i can appreciate it being a "witch" myself...winter musgrave is released from a mental hospital with a bad case of amnesia...she seems incapable of remembering even why she was admitted there...what she is aware of is that strange things are happening to her...small animals are found mutilated upon her doorstep, windows and doors have a way of being opened when she remembers locking them, and all manner of strange things happen when she becomes upset or angry...she has given up her wall street high-paying job to rent an old house called grey angels...the incidents are getting worse...instead of getting the peace of mind she seeks, she finds herself spiraling toward oblivion...is she doing the bad things and forgetting them or is she being stalked by something more horrible than her nightmares???...an act of desperation lands her at a college that has its own parapsychology team...can truth jourdemayne help winter fight off this evil???...challenging enough without having to convince winter of her sanity first...gradually throughout this exciting book winter is regaining her memory and realizing that she might would have preferred the lack of it to the truth...her revelations put her on a road trip across the country trying to figure out what happened to the missing piece of her life's puzzle...and the answers are so unpredictable that you will be gasping until the very end when you learn that love conquers all...thank you marion zimmer bradley!!!!!

Well, being a fan of Marion's work I instantly snapped this book up and was....truly disappointed. Her character Winter is totally two dimensional and the book moves exasperatingly slowly with little concrete storyline. And its all flash bang magic, nothing particularly thought-provoking or true, pandering to the dreams of Hollywood spellmakers.
When I finished it I took it straight to the charity shop....it really wasn't worth keeping.
If you want to read good MZB work stick with the Avalon series and you won't be as disappointed as I was.

Contrary to the other reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Though it starts out kind of slow, once into the book it gets more and more interesting. Although it's kind of long, the time spent is worth it once you reach the end. This was my first experience with a Marion Zimmer Bradley book, and although I cannot say it won't be my last, I will always remember the author as one I enjoyed.

One or two good moments, but frustrating overall
This review refers to the audiobook version, and I am half tempted to read the print book, just to see how much of a negative impact the guy reading it on tape has on the story,... Read more

couldn't put it down
I am an MZB fan and was given this book as a gift. The cover (which we never judge by, right?) made me think it was geared for a teen audience but I found the story intriguing and... Read more

A flat, 2-D picture of pathetic characters. Just Say No!
Winter Musgrave is a very disturbed woman. In addition to Poltergeist-like phenomena, she seems to be the focus for a get-together of dead animals. Read more
