Une bonne lecture moi qui adore le film "Les Ensorceleuses " j'avais donc très envie de connaître plus l'histoire de Maria Owens à l'origine de la malédiction. J'ai beaucoup aimé la première partie, son enfance en Angleterre, son voyage en Amérique, par contre la seconde partie du livre pour moi avait trop de longueur, j'ai moins accrocher peut être que j avait trop d'attente par rapport au film
