5 + Stars!!
I believe author Catherine Cavendish may have lived a past life or two in Victorian Great Britain: she possesses a rare and quite special gift for writing that period "from the inside," and so readers "experience" her stories rather than just peruse a narrative. I felt I lived with the characters in her newest, the spectacularly spooky supernatural story GARDEN OF BEWITCHMENT. Evelyn and Claire, twin protagonists, literally identical twins, their lives, their hauntings. Claire's obsession, that mysterious and alien concept "toy" referenced so delightfully in the title: for the duration of reading, all this was a part of me.
