Autumn has finally arrived in the small town of Bascom, North Carolina, heralded by a strange old man appearing with a beaten-up suitcase. He has stories to tell, stories that could change the lives of the Waverley women forever. But the Waverleys have enough trouble on their hands. Quiet Claire Waverley has started a successful new venture, Waverley’s Candies, but it’s nothing like she thought it would be, and it’s slowly taking over her life. Claire’s wild sister Sydney, still trying to leave her past behind, is about to combust with her desire for another new beginning. And Sydney’s fifteen-year-old daughter Bay has given her heart away to the wrong boy and can’t get it back.From the author of the New York Times bestselling sensation GARDEN SPELLS, FIRST FROST is magical and atmospheric, taking readers back into the lives of the gifted Waverley women – back to their strange garden and temperamental apple tree, back to their house with a personality of its own, back to the men who love them fiercely – proving that a happily-ever-after is never the real ending to a story. It’s where the real story begins.
First Frost är uppföljaren till Garden Spells som jag älskade! Och vilken uppföljare! Jag var riktigt orolig efter att ha läst Lost Lake av samma författare. Den var en stor besvikelse. Jag älskar Sydneys dotter Bay! Hela boken påminde mig så mycket om Practical Magic/ Magiska systrar-filemn med Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock. Jag blev tvungen att kolla på filmen efter jag läst klar boken.
Jag gav boken 5 stjärnor på Goodreads och som vanligt kan jag inte skriva något sammanhängande om böcker som jag älskar.. Är så sugen på att läsa om alla andra böcker av Sarah Addison Allen (inte Lost Lake!)
Andra böcker av författaren är:
- The Peach Keeper
- The Girl Who Chased The Moon
- The Sugar Queen
- Garden Spells
- Lost Lake
