Book description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Lush with secrets, magic, and a past that won’t stay where it belongs, this novel is (quite fittingly) spellbinding.”—JODI PICOULT, author of Wish You Were Here

A deeply atmospheric story about ancestral magic, an unsolved murder, and a second chance at true love

ONE OF THE BEST…

Why read it?

1 author picked Spells for Forgetting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Adrienne Young’s novels are transporting. Her worlds are enthralling (in this case, a little haunting), and her characters are always intriguing.

Emery and August are no different in this book. I actually put off reading Spells For Forgetting because I’m not a huge “magic” fan. But this book is so much more than that, and Young wove her magic system throughout the story deftly and delicately, making it feel real.

The magic wasn’t only magic; it was the town, the people, the atmosphere, and the mystery—all intricately sewn throughout beautiful prose. I fell in love with Saoirse Island.
