A young, independent woman enters a strange world with the intention of relaxing for a couple of weeks before making a quick profit and leaving. She is surreptitiously seduced into accepting her bizare environment which has been brooding for over five hundred years. Exploring all possibilities which occur at alarming speed, her perception finally transcends the norm and she begins to accept the impossible. Tilda learns how to do magic incorporating a natural acumen that she has always had but, until now, has never thought significant. She finds 'treasure', spiritual, physical and traditional within her grasp, but is persued by those who want what she has inherited. Tilda has allies, the neighbour that aided her late Aunt, a flamboyant friend whom she cannot 'read' the way she can most people, and even an unlikely Grandfather who attempts to protect her from what he calls 'unsavoury practices', not all of whom are quite what they seem! Rumours of murder, arson and the manipulation of others by onorthodox and mysterious means manifest themselves. This is a tale involving witchcraft, fear, love, comedy and premature death culminating in sheer horror which appears to precipitate an end to strife. A tale for those who can suspend belief and do not demand a 'happy ever after' finale, for life does not end when one achieves one's heart's desire!

One of those books that rarely comes along with all the elements I love so beautifully and skilfully entwined. Ancient lore and tradition,magic, mystery, a touch of romance and a very entertaining comic element throughout; not only that but if you're also interested in homeopathy and old fashioned, comforting, traditional kitchen skills this book is a mine of information. It almost cuddles the reader into a sense of home and security until a twist in the tale manifests itself and your on the edge of your seat again! A must read for any curious mind that likes to be challenged and entertained. *****
