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 divorcees 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.
