The Sparrow Sisters

Ellen Herrick's debut novel spins an enchanting love story about a place where magic whispers just beneath the surface and almost anything is possible, if you aren't afraid to listen, with echoes of the alchemy of Practical Magic, the lushness of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, and the darkly joyful wickedness of the Witches of Eastwick. The Sparrow Sisters are as inextricably linked to Granite Point, a coastal New England village, as the wild sweet peas that climb the stone walls around the bay. Sorrel, Nettie, and Patience are as bright as the beach plums on the dunes and as enigmatic as the fog that comes into town at twilight.

Patience is the village healer, and when a new doctor arrives in Granite Point, he carries with him a mystery so intriguing that Patience is attracted to love him even as she fights to treat him. However, when Patience Sparrow's herbs and tinctures are suspected of being involved in a local tragedy, Granite Point is gripped by a long-buried fear—and its three-hundred-year-old past resurfaces as a modern-day witch-hunt approach. Plants and flowers, fruit trees and tall hedges wither and die, and the entire town begins to disintegrate; fishermen return to the port empty-handed, and blight settles on the old elms that border the roads.

Patience and her community appear to be lost until the ladies of Granite Point come together to save the Sparrow. Will they be able to turn the tide and bring life back to Granite Point as they assemble and take strength from one another? The Sparrow Sisters is a stunning, spooky, and completely enthralling tale that will grab your mind.
