Details

Kristin's mother is a witch, her grandmother was a witch and her great-grandmother was a witch, but Kristin doesn't feel like a witch. She feels normal, a little bit dull, if anything. But her desperate attempts to escape from her bizarre family of mystics head her ever deeper into a blizzard of crazy possibilities. A disgraced scientist, MI5, a snowman, the dark purpose behind modern poetry, the alarming threat posed by the monks of Tibet and the grim secrets of a dodgy freezer all become frantically entangled in this sparkling comedy.
