“Love, magic, history, witches: it’s all here, between the covers
of this lovely book. Updike might have written it, if he’d had a
better sense of humor.” —Daniel Wallace, author of Big
Fish
“A charming curiosity shop of a novel, packed to bursting with
secret histories and glittering marvels. With Petty Magic,
Camille DeAngelis has given us a glimpse into a strange and
enchanting world. It’s dangerous good fun, and well worth getting
lost in.” —Jedediah Berry, author of The Manual of
Detection
“Part Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants, part Bedknobs and
Broomsticks, DeAngelis’s second novel uses witchcraft to illuminate
a woman whose wrinkles belie the passionate, adventurous girl she
still is on the inside. Recommended for fans of magical
realism—emphasis on the magic.” —Library Journal
“A moving and witty love story . . . Charming prose.”
—Publishers Weekly
“An amusing romp!” —Booklist
