Beautifully written and utterly absorbing from the first word, this a haunting coming-of-age novel that's good enough to eat... Abandoned by her mother with only some cash, her birth certificate and the rucksack on her back, a young woman named Maren sets off on a long journey of self-discovery. She doesn't blame her mother for leaving; she's only too aware of the trail of pain and tragedy that lies in her wake, following her like a ghost. Innumerable schools and relocations later, Maren is determined to find the key to who she is, and why she does the things she does. For Maren has urges that she can't control. Cannabalistic urges. And now she's desperate to take control. Camille DeAngelis worked as an Editorial Assistant in Non-Fiction and as a travel writer before turning her hand to writing fiction. She lives in New Jersey.
"Esta chica no rompe corazones, los devora. La novela que ha inspirado la nueva pelicula de Timothâee Chalamet. Maren Yearly quiere lo mismo que cualquier chica de su edad. Quiere convertirse en alguien a quien los demâas admiren y respeten. Y quiere que la quieran. Pero Maren tiene un secreto que la hace diferente, impulsos que no puede controlar. Y se odia por las cosas malas que le ha empujado a hacer, por lo que ha causado en ella y en su familia. Porque Maren no solo rompe corazones, los devora. Desde el dâia en que su madre le encontrâo en la boca un hueso del oâido de la niänera cuando apenas tenâia dos aänos, supo que la vida no serâia normal para ninguna de las dos. Y cuando, el dâia de su decimosexto cumpleaänos, su madre la abandona con un poco de dinero, una mochila y su partida de nacimiento, Maren decide lanzarse a la bâusqueda del padre que nunca conociâo, determinada a averiguar la clave de su origen y de por quâe hace lo que hace. Enfrentada a un mundo que quizâa encierre otras personas como ella, pero tambiâen la inesperada posibilidad del amor, Maren pronto se da cuenta de que a quien busca es a sâi misma."--

Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them.

Evelyn Harbinger is a heck of a lot older than she looks. At 149 years of age, Eve can still iron out the wrinkles on a Saturday night, turning heads and taking more than phone numbers as the foxy, dark-haired girl she used to be. She and her sisters have spent the better part of their lives using their powers for only the highest good-Eve herself spied for the Allies in Paris and Berlin-but in their golden years, the beldames are free to enjoy themselves however they please. When Eve meets Justin at her favorite curiosity shop, though, her games are over. Justin looks and acts uncannily like Jonah, her partner on the most dangerous mission of her career-and the great love of her life. Experts in espionage, Eve and Jonah gave up their one chance at happiness to advance the Allied cause, and no man has measured up ever since. Justin is unsuspecting but equally smitten, and Eve is much too headstrong to listen to the common-sense warnings of her coven. Meanwhile, another beldame has accused Eve's sister Helena of killing her own husband sixty years before, and Eve, disguised as her younger self, spends more and more time with Justin to take her mind off the growing pile of evidence that suggests her sister isn't the pure-hearted matriarch she appears to be. Eve knows her family has every reason to disapprove and that falling in love with an ordinary man can only end in despair, but she can't give up the boy who might be Jonah-because this time, she just might be able to keep him. A delightfully romantic adventure set between a supernatural version of present-day New York City and the epic backdrop of World War II, Petty Magic proves that the real fun starts when beldames and mortal men dare to fall in love.
