For more than two hundred years, the Owens women had been blamed for everything that went wrong in their Massachusetts town. And Gillian and Sally endured that fate as well; as children, the sisters were outsiders. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, but all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape. One would do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they shared brought them back-almost as if by magic...
Just because something sounds mystical doesn't make it profound.
I actually read the sequel before reading this book and loved it, so I know Alice Hoffman can write plot, but in this book it was pretty dead and buried.
