Meet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against a world which seems to hold little mercy for her and her family - or their old, crumbling house, falling down around them. Willa's two grown-up children, a new-born grandchild, and her ailing father-in-law have all moved in at a time when life seems at its most precarious. But when Willa discovers that a pioneering female scientist lived on the same street in the 1800s, could this historical connection be enough to save their home from ruin? And can Willa, despite the odds, keep her family together?

I am sure it will enter the classics category. very rarely the two are are contemporaries, the story and its creator but when they are, magic unravels. loved the book and the writer. beautifully narrated.

utterly lovely in every way.
the characters, both modern and from an earlier age. the diction, so true. the atmosphere, so real. the ending, so convincing and uplifting. the context, so immediate.
i might just have to READ the book, now that i have listened to it.
barbara kingsolver's best work, in my view.

bewitching
