Description: John Updike is the great genial sorcerer of American letters [and]The Witches of Eastwick[is one of his] most ambitious works. . . . [A] comedy of the blackest sort.The New York Times Book Review 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 divorces 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 Eastwickand through the even darker fantasies of the towns collective psyche. A great deal of fun to read . . . fresh, constantly entertaining . . . John Updike [is] a wizard of language and observation.The Philadelphia Inquirer The book is in very good condition. There are no markings or previous owner stamps.
