I thoroughly enjoyed reading about time in New York during 1880. This story involves three ladies who are discovered to be witches who run a tea shop and the problems they encounter with those wanting to rid the world of witches. Besides the three witches in the tea shop there are also the Dearlies who are in charge of dreams, a raven named Perdu who can talk and says he is not a bird and of course a ghost or two! The story is very cleverly written and it kept me engaged throughout the whole book. There is a small love story (or 2) within which is nice and a lot of mystical happenings.

The author incorporates news stories of the time into the story and historical events which were quite interesting. For example, I never knew the Statue of Liberty's arm and torch resided in Madison Square Park for several years before being attached to the rest of her body. Fascinating!
