The award-winning author of The Mysteries returns with another captivating novel in which modern-day enigmas and age-old myths come together with spellbinding results. Here is an enchanting tale set in a land rich with folkloreand ripe for a rekindling of the old ways. Nestled on the coast of Scotland, Appleton was once famous for its apples. Now, though the orchards are long gone, locals still dream of the towns glory days, when an Apple Queen was crowned at the annual fair and good luck seemed a way of life. And outsiders are still drawn to the charming village, including three very different American women. Enchanted by Appletons famously ornate, gold-domed library, divorce Kathleen Mullaroy has left her cosmopolitan job to start anew as the towns head librarian. Widowed Nell Westray hopes for a quiet life of gardening in the place where she and her husband spent their happiest moments. And young Ashley Kaldis has come to find her roots, and learns that the towns fortunes turned when her grandmother was crowned Apple Queenthen mysteriously disappeared. When a sudden landslide cuts Appleton off from the wider worldand the usual constraints of realitythe village reveals itself to be an extraordinary place, inhabited by legendary beings, secret rooms, and the blossoming of a rare fruit not seen in decades. Most unexpected is a handsome stranger who will draw all three women into an Otherworld in which luck and love will return to Appletonif only one of them will believe. Lush with the romance and allure of ancient traditions, The Silver Bough will propel you into a land where, as in Eden, the bite of a single apple can alter the whole course of reality.

It‘s dark. Lots of of thunder and rain. Hubby lit some candles. I‘m still in my pjs, with a hot cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket and an endless TBR. It‘s heavenly.
