Conjure Women ($23, originally $27) takes place in both the pre- and post-Civil War south and follows the lives of three women: Miss May Belle, a healer; her daughter Rue; and their master's daughter, Varina. The story jumps back and forth through time as secrets among these women and their community spread superstitions that could threaten their shaky postwar freedoms.
