The extraordinary and enchanting novel tracing a centuries-old
curse back to its beginning from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and
THE DOVEKEEPERS For centuries, the women of the Owens family have
been cursed: any man who loves an Owens woman will die. It begins
with a baby abandoned in a snowy English field in the 1600s. Gentle
Hannah Owens takes the baby in, and as the child grows, Hannah
teaches little Maria about the 'Unnamed Arts'. Maria has a gift for
them - a gift that may well prove her undoing. When Maria is
abandoned by the man she loves, she invokes the curse that will
haunt her family for centuries. Because magic has rules, and they
must be obeyed. PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN 'Beautiful, harrowing, a
major contribution to twenty-first century literature' Toni
Morrison 'I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers - from the
history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to
bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human
spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all,
this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader.' Jodi
Picoult 'In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror
to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of
sexual desire, women's solidarity in the face of strife, and the
magic that's quietly present in our day-to-day living. Put The
Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman's extraordinary body of
work. I was blown away.' Wally Lamb 'Alice Hoffman takes seemingly
ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things.' Amy
Tan 'Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel'
Joseph Heller 'Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman's exploration of
the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them,
is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us - it is a
glorious experience.' Elizabeth Strout
