The spellbinding sequel to The Witches of Eastwick
More than three decades have passed since the witches of Eastwick - Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie - weaved their wicked spell on the sleepy Rhode Island town. Since then the three divorcées have left, remarried, and become widows. Meeting up again, they decide to go back to Eastwick one last time. But what enchantments will they find?
There may no longer be a diabolical Darryl Van Horne, but memory - as much as magic - continues to haunt the town. For among the familiar streets, where the witches enjoyed their status as free, lusty and empowered women, there are those who remember them, and wish them ill . . .

A master of American letters and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series returns with a sequel to The Witches of Eastwick about the three much-loved divorceesthree decades later. More than three decades have passed since the events described in John Updikes The Witches of Eastwick. The three divorceesAlexandra, Jane, and Sukiehave left town, remarried, and become widows. They cope with their grief and solitude as widows do: they travel the world, to such foreign lands as Canada, Egypt, and China, and renew old acquaintance. Why not, Sukie and Jane ask Alexandra, go back to Eastwick for the summer? The old Rhode Island seaside town, where they indulged in wicked mischief under the influence of the diabolical Darryl Van Horne, is still magical for them. Now Darryl is gone, and their lovers of the time have aged or died, but enchantment remains in the familiar streets and scenery of the village, where they enjoyed their lusty primes as free and empowered women. And, among the local citizenry, there are still those who remember them, and wish them ill. How they cope with the lingering traces of their evil deeds, the shocks of a mysterious counterspell, and the advancing inroads of old age, form the burden on Updikes delightful, ominous sequel. In this delightfully ominous sequel to "The Witches of Eastwick," Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie are now widowed and have returned to the old Rhode Island seaside town where they must cope with the lingering traces of their evil deeds.
