THE WITCH OF LITTLE ITALY

Cassandra Campbell’s narration is magical. She completely disappears into this novel about a young pregnant woman, Eleanor Amore, who seeks refuge in the home of her estranged grandmother and two aunts, who are all “witches”—able to see the future and cast spells. Campbell transforms Eleanor from a shy, abused girl with severe, magically caused memory loss into a secure woman who remembers everything—including the powerful secrets of the Amore family. Campbell easily handles the many time shifts as the Amore sisters and Eleanor take turns telling their stories in the past and present. Campbell makes each character’s voice unique while capturing the mystical atmosphere of witchcraft, ghosts, and old secrets. M.M.G.
