This is a strange novel to be sure. It is told in many voices of women in one magical family. Magical in the ways of intuition and the awareness of seeing fates pattern. Some have compared this story to Alice Hoffman novels, and while I would see a similarity, I would not agree. I felt at times the author tried too hard with the whole magical path. Yet on that breath I must admit, I loved the strange moments. A human seductress with an animal tail? Out there, but definitely captured my imagination. I flip flop between like and love here. Some of the story just dragged, but other parts held meaning. This is a story for those of us that like quirky tales (tail ha ha). It tickled me but I kept wanting something from it that never delivered. Not heavy so much as Hoffman's stories are but a really good read all the same. Glad to have stumbled on this story, and look forward to more from the author.
