Description
In the seemingly idyllic New England town of Eastwick, three restless women—a sculptor, a cellist, and a journalist—discover they possess extraordinary powers. United by their shared discontent and burgeoning witchcraft, Jane, Sukie, and Alexandra find their lives irrevocably changed as they explore the intoxicating possibilities of magic. Their newfound abilities, however, soon unleash a series of increasingly chaotic and darkly humorous events, challenging the very fabric of their community and their own destinies. John Updike masterfully blends satire, fantasy, and a keen observation of human nature in this captivating exploration of desire, power, and the unexpected consequences of embracing one's true, wild self.
