Somewhere in another time and, perhaps, in another world, three sisters, Ann, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley, live in harmony. In their attentive hands, the tea room 'Lunar Crescent' thrives, where any visitor can learn a little more about her own fate. Fragrant herbal tea, sugar-brown cookies, delicate chocolate petit fours, and strawberry pies with cream: this is what the tea room offers, along with fortune-telling using tea leaves, cards, and palm reading. However, it seems that the sisterly idyll is not destined to last long: suddenly finding themselves in the spotlight of the Town Council of Witches, the girls must decide whether to strike a deal with the Council or lose the tea room forever. But figuring out the right course of action is not easy, as they have never been so divided: Ann's magic is suddenly frighteningly growing, Beatrix’s writing talents are finally noticed by a publisher, and Violet falls in love with the freedom of flying under the circus dome or perhaps with someone who flies next to her…
This story is about fate, about not letting familial bonds crack, and about not losing oneself - an atmospheric work of fiction about an alternative America at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century. Like a cozy book about magic that you want to read under a blanket, slowly turning the pages, this healing romance combines elements of fantasy and a warm romantic story. The sisters experience changes in different ways and face trials, resulting in a tender book about love and at the same time a tale about family, where support and acceptance prove to be stronger than any curse.
