The Magic Circle
The Magic Circle

Heartrending journey through grief, memory, and healing.

If you've ever felt the weight of loss or the bittersweet pull of nostalgia, "The Magic Circle" could resonate deeply with you. Charmaine Chan weaves her personal experiences into a rich tapestry that not only delves into the pain of losing a loved one but also explores the comfort found in cherished memories. It's a tender, intimate exploration of the human heart, its fractures, and its capacity for resilience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Magic Circle tells the story of what happens when Charmaine Chan’s sister Elaine is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. As the illness progresses, family members living on different continents gather together during Elaine’s last days. Striving to distract Elaine from the worst effects of the cancer, Charmaine takes to the pen: conjuring up the vanished world of their childhood in Singapore, and discovering a way to keep her promise to Elaine’s six-year-old daughter. A contemplation on grief and loss, nostalgia and yearning, The Magic Circle is for anyone who’s been torn apart and put back again by the inexplicable power of memory.
