More than three decades after the events of The Witches of Eastwick, Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, all now widowed, return to the Rhode Island seaside town of Eastwick for the summer after many years away and find themselves dealing with the lingering legacy of their evil deeds, the shocks of a mysterious counterspell, and the inroads of aging. Simultaneous.

"[Updike's] leading ladies are more compelling not as supernatural sorceresses but as ordinary women, haunted by the sins of their youth, frightened of the looming prospect of the grave and trying their best to get by, day by day by day."

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 10/20/2008

"[John Updike] still wrings more from a sentence than almost anyone else. His sorcery is startlingly fresh, page upon page."

Sam Tanenhaus, New York Times Book Review, 10/26/2008
