Revisit this classic novel about the magic of sisterhood.

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape. One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back--almost as if by magic...

We'll discuss the book and maybe even enjoy some Midday Margaritas (virgin, of course!). 

Please contact the South Branch to reserve a copy of the book and register for the program.
