The Witches Of Eastwick
Trade cloth edition in good condition. Dust Jacket with intact price point. Stated first edition. Fore-edge painting on top. Alas, previous owner placed a book plate on inside front board along with the date written in ink, thus turning a collectable book into a bargain book. Mylar cover included.
“Which witch is which?”
Toward the end of the Vietnam Era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorcées with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns milk into cream. Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick and through the even darker fantasies of the town’s collective psyche.
