Hydrogen bonded polymers Book

I loved this book! I was expecting a fairly standard chick-lit type tale, easy reading & fun perhaps in the Jill Mansell vein - but it was so much more!

The cover blurb says "A magical story of family & forgiveness..." & it certainly is. The characters - everyone of them- are well written & believeable...William & Matilda, Hebe's cousins were a particular favourites of mine - their constant bickering & William's insect experiments made me smile! There's all the usual components of this sort of romantic tale, the beautiful single mother, the gold-digging young second wife married to an irascible old man & the missing son but then theres the added extra of the witch in the woods & that, along with Hebe's "special" gifts stops the tale being bog-standard chick-lit/romance fare & turns it into a wonderful memorable read - I thoroughly enjoyed it - can you tell?
