This wild, magic-realist ride of a novel, originally published in
1994, is funny, sexy, satirical, linguistically exuberant, and
utterly unique. Written as a fictional biography, it tells the life
story of a woman with magical sexual powers that she uses to heal
people. The story follows our heroine from her miraculous birth
through her childhood in a magical orphanage to adulthood, when she
uncovers sinister conspiracies among political and well-hidden
foes. Woven into The Magic Touch is that of her grandmother, whose
mysterious background propels the story forward in ways that begin
as Faustian and end up as spiritual. The story culminates in a
spectacular—and hilarious—showdown between the forces of good
and evil. The Magic Touch is Rachel Simon’s second book and
first novel. It was a 1994 selection of the Barnes & Noble
Discover Great New Writers program, which highlights books of
exceptional literary quality from authors at the starts of their
careers.
