This wonderful meme is based on the one started by Breaking the Spine
The weather is rather blah today,
so I thought that for today's WOW I
would present a fireside worthy read.
This book was turned into one of my favorite movies
and I am so anxious to find out what they didn't put in the movie.
Title: The Witches of Eastwick
Author: John Updike
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Expected Release Date: March 13th, 2012
Toward the end of the
Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful
powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching
divorcées with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and
mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a
cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns
milk into cream. Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life
when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the
long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth
scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick—and
through the even darker fantasies of the town’s collective psyche. -Goodreads
I wonder if I can read this book without thinking of Cher and Jack Nicholson?
We'll See!!!!
