Garden Spells

In a Garden surrounded by a tall fence, tucked away behind a small house in the smallest of towns, is an apple tree rumored to bear a very special sort of fruit. In this luminous debut novel, Sarah Addison Allen tells the story of that enchanted tree, and the extraordinary people who tend it.

The Waverley have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of  Waverley history is in the soil. And so are their futures.

A successful caterer, Claire Waverly prepares dishes made with her mystical plants-from the nasturtiums that aid keeping secrets to the snapdragons intended to discourage the attentions of her amorous neighbor. Meanwhile, her elderly cousin, Evanelle, distributes unexpected presents whose uses become uncannily clear. They are the last of Waverleys- except for Claire’s rebellious sister, Sydney, who fled Bascom the moment she could, abandoning Claire, as their own mother had years before.
