This house is a whole other ball of wax. I’m sure its feelings are hurt as I write this. It fancies itself a horror house. Home of witches and murderesses. Of death and decay and destruction. And here I am calling it comforting...

“It's rare to find a novel that sends shivers up your spine. The Witch of Persimmon Point not only leaves you spooked, it'll give you chills whenever you see it on your bookshelf.” – Redbook This house is a whole other ball of wax. I’m sure its feelings are hurt as I write this. It fancies itself a horror house. Home of witches and murderesses. Of death and decay and destruction. And here I am calling it comforting... When Byrd Whalen returns to her family’s ancestral home to uncover secrets threatening to destroy a legacy she holds dear, she gets more than she bargained for. Over the course of one harrowing weekend, the dark haunted histories of the Amore women reveal themselves, leading Byrd to question everything she's ever believed about herself. In 1890, Nan, the Amore family matriarch, was sent away to America with little more than a baby and a rocking chair, quickly finding work on the sprawling estate of the wildly eccentric Green family. This new life is one she wanted: loving and free with a family that understands and shares in her magic. But when tragedy strikes, destroying the mansion and the precious lives inside, Nan is left alone and pregnant with Reginald Green’s child. With nothing more than the deed to the property, she builds a house from the rubble and a new, pragmatic life. It would become a haunted life that would lead to other haunted lives. It would become a house both terrible and wonderful. It would become known as “The Witch House.” An unforgettable family saga in the Gothic tradition, Suzanne Palmieri’s The Witch House of Persimmon Point is her most powerful novel yet.

The Witch of Bourbon Street

Situated deep in the Louisiana bayou is the formerly opulent Sorrow Estate. Once home to a magical family—the Sorrows—it now sits in ruins, ever since a series of murders in 1902 shocked the entire community. Now the ghosts of girls in white dresses shift in and out of view, stuck in time as they live out the past on repeat. When Frances Green Sorrow is born carrying the "signs" of the so-called chosen one, it is believed she will bring her family back from the brink of obscurity, finally resurrecting the glory of what it once was and setting the Sorrows ghosts free. But Frances is no savior. Fleeing from heartbreak, she seeks solace in the seductive chaos of New Orleans, only to end up married too young in an attempt to live an ordinary life. When her marriage falls apart shortly after having a son, she returns home again—alone—just out of reach from the prying eyes of her family. But when her son disappears, she is forced to rejoin the world she left behind, exposing her darkest secret in order to find him and discovering the truth of what really happened that fateful year in the process. Set amidst the colorful charm of The French Quarter and remote bayous of Tivoli Parish, Louisiana, Suzanne Palmieri's The Witch of Bourbon Street is a story of family, redemption, and forgiveness. Because sometimes, the most important person you have to forgive.... is yourself.

New York. Fiocchi di neve si posano leggeri sul tetto e i due comignoli fumanti si intravedono appena. Eleanor è davanti alla vecchia casa. L’ultima volta che è stata lì da bambina la luce della luna colorava d’argento le foglie dell’acero in giardino. Eppure i ricordi di quella lontana estate sono avvolti in una fitta nebbia. L’unico particolare rimasto impresso nella sua memoria è l’intenso aroma di caffè che avvolgeva le stanze. Eleanor ha dimenticato ogni altra cosa. E sa che da allora tutto è cambiato. La madre l’ha portata via da quel luogo, dalle donne della sua famiglia e dal loro dono speciale: prevedere il futuro. Un dono che è anche una pericolosa maledizione. Ma adesso è qui che Eleanor ha deciso di trovare rifugio. Ha scoperto di essere incinta e il suo solo desiderio è fuggire. Fuggire dalle sue paure, dalla madre e dal fidanzato per proteggere il suo bambino. Un misterioso richiamo la spinge verso il suo passato. Verso il posto da cui provengono le sue radici. Eleanor sente che la nonna e le prozie possono darle il sostegno di cui ha bisogno. Perché, nonostante il passare degli anni, le anziane donne non hanno mai smesso di volerle bene. Giorno dopo giorno tra quelle mura, nel silenzio di una buia soffitta, la nebbia intorno ai ricordi di Eleanor a poco a poco si rischiara e ciò che è rimasto celato per tanto tempo aspetta solo di essere svelato. Eleanor è pronta a scoprirlo per ritrovare sé stessa. Per sapere finalmente la verità sulla storia della sua famiglia. Perché il peso dei segreti è troppo forte da sopportare ancora. Una luna magica a New York è un esordio potente, che ha affascinato i lettori e i librai americani. Sullo sfondo di una New York magica e misteriosa, illuminata da una luna indimenticabile, Suzanne Palmieri racconta una storia coinvolgente sulle famiglie e i loro grandi e piccoli misteri. Un romanzo in cui il richiamo delle proprie radici è così forte da sfidare il destino, in cui un tocco magico aiuta a riportare a galla la verità.
