“Schickel’s debut entertains while delightfully skewering our culture’s obsession with domestic perfection. In the spirit of John Updike’s Witches of Eastwick and Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, Schickel casts a spell all her own. Housewitch takes us deep inside the dark arts of 21st century motherhood and sparkles with unexpected magic.” —Amber Dermont, New York Times bestselling author of The Starboard Sea

“An unforgettable cast of characters and a powerful story about family, secrets, and magic. A magical, beautifully entertaining debut.” —Suzanne Palmieri, author of The Witch of Belladonna Bay
