Description

'A delightfully sweet and cozy novel that's as comforting as a warm cup of tea' - Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Following the untimely death of their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that lie at the bottom of their customers' teacups. Days at their teashop are filled with fortune-telling intertwined with the sound of clinking china and the scent of cinnamon shortbread.

When the Council of Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers, the sisters suddenly find themselves being pulled in different directions. As Anne's magic begins to develop beyond that of her sisters', Beatrix's writing attracts the attention of a publisher, and Violet is enchanted by the song of the circus-and a mischievous trapeze artist threatening to sweep her off her feet-it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters forever is taking effect.

With dwindling time to rewrite their future and save the cosy and much-loved tearoom, the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on saving each other, will they lose sight of themselves

Reviews

Make your appointment for The Crescent Moon Tea Room. It's warm and cozy as a cup of tea on a chilly evening. You won't regret meeting the magical Quigley Sisters. -- Meg Shaffer, USA Today bestselling author of The Wishing Game

Sivinski's novel is positively delightful, and the Quigley sisters are wonderfully different from one another despite being identical triplets. But it's the house where they live and run their business that takes center stage. As their lives change, and they experience trials and tribulations, the house changes empathetically to reflect the ways they're feeling, making it a character in its own right. The result is a tale of family, love, and the things that make a house a home.

A delightfully sweet and cozy novel that's as comforting as a warm cup of tea.
