    11 maart 1964

    Deze auteur duikt in de menselijke eigenaardigheden en unieke levensdetails, waarbij droge biografische feiten worden vermeden ten gunste van de rijkere, vreemdere aspecten van het bestaan. Haar schrijven is doordrenkt van een wrange humor en een scherpe observatiestijl, waardoor lezers een glimp van de wereld kunnen opvangen door haar onderscheidende perspectief. Ze gebruikt onverwachte anekdotes en persoonlijke ervaringen om een levendig en boeiend portret van haar innerlijke leven en denkprocessen te creëren. Haar benadering onthult een fascinatie voor woorden als 'verlossing' en een afkeer van 'misschien', wat hint op diepere thema's van hoop en zekerheid in haar werk.

      Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City-and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It's 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.

    • Ah, Christmas! Gemma Doyle is looking forward to a holiday from Spence Academy, spending time with her friends in the city, attending ritzy balls, and on a somber note, tending to her ailing father. As she prepares to ring in the New Year, 1896, a handsome young man, Lord Denby, has set his sights on Gemma, or so it seems. Yet amidst the distractions of London, Gemma’s visions intensify–visions of three girls dressed in white, to whom something horrific has happened, something only the realms can explain. . . . The lure is strong, and before long, Gemma, Felicity, and Ann are turning flowers into butterflies in the enchanted world of the realms that Gemma alone can bring them to. To the girls’ great joy, their beloved Pippa is there as well, eager to complete their circle of friendship. But all is not well in the realms–or out. The mysterious Kartik has reappeared, telling Gemma she must find the Temple and bind the magic, else great disaster will befall her. Gemma’s willing to do his intrusive bidding, despite the dangers it brings, for it means she will meet up with her mother’s greatest friend–and now her foe, Circe. Until Circe is destroyed, Gemma cannot live out her destiny. But finding Circe proves a most perilous task.
