For fans of Alice Hoffman, Sarah Addison Allen, and Adriana Trigiani,
The Witches of Cambridge reveals an astonishing world where the
heart’s deepest secrets give way to the magic of life-changing love.
Be careful what you wish for. If you’re a witch, you might just get
it. Amandine Bisset has always had the power to feel the emotions
of those around her. It’s a secret she can share only with her
friends—all professors, all witches—when they gather for the
Cambridge University Society of Literature and Witchcraft. Amandine
treasures these meetings but lately senses the ties among her
colleagues beginning to unravel. If only she had her student Noa’s
power to hear the innermost thoughts of others, she might know how to
patch things up. Unfortunately, Noa regards her gift as a curse. So
when a seductive artist claims he can cure her, Noa jumps at the
chance, no matter the cost. Noa’s not the only witch who’s in
over her head. Mathematics professor Kat has a serious case of
unrequited love but refuses to cast spells to win anyone’s heart.
Kat’s sister, Cosima, is not above using magic to get what she
wants, sprinkling pastries in her bakery with equal parts sugar and
enchantment. But when Cosima sets her sights on Kat’s crush, she
conjures up a dangerous love triangle. As romance and longing swirl
through every picturesque side street, the witches of Cambridge find
their lives unexpectedly upended and changed in ways sometimes
extraordinary, sometimes heartbreaking, but always enchanting. Praise
