( ) This book had a witchy theme to it, but it wasn't witchy in the sense that I normally like. More like intuition and "old ways" witchiness. There is a lot of death in this story, and some abuse type scenes, so it's got some darker elements. The story does have some plot twists and semi spooky moments, but I have to admit I was let down by the ending. It seemed to wrap up too neatly for my tastes. I had a hard time connecting with the characters, I just didn't feel any emotional involvement. There wasn't a whole lot depth or growth, for that matter. I'm hoping the author's other books are better, because I jumped the gun and bought those too, to add to my "witch" collection. The Witch of Little Italy by Suzanne Palmieri is a mix of women's literature, new adult, tragedy, love, and magic. With the help of her aunts, Eleanor discovers her true self and in the process grows into a beautifully confident woman. It unfolds through interesting characters and their family secrets. The secrets show the ties that bind, the distance love can take you, and the endurance of the human spirit. Palmieri nailed it when it comes to both the reality of how we are formed by our past and the struggle to make repairs to one's soul in the aftermath. I am awestruck at the deeper meaning of much of this book, which allows for some wonderful book club discussions and the gift of a much remembered book. I'm giving this book a 4 star, not 5, only because it dragged little in the middle, but it's one of 3 books so far and I'm excited to read the other two, so that's always a plus! The other two books are not part of a series, just the names tend to be like a series, THE WITCH OF BELLADONNA BAY and THE WITCH OF BOURBON STREET. This book did read well, some of the quotes were so good, "We have to teach ourselves not to become obsessed. True love lies in peace, not torture."and my favorite, "Don't make the same mistakes, make different ones. We all make mistakes...no need to compound them." It was a good read that had me guessing until the end. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
