Hold onto those pearls ladies. This book has all the things: violence, silly schoolboy antics, sexual harassment, magic, witchcraft, and a healthy dose of Catholic guilt. Some books are routinely banned for less and this one has been a target for the last fifty years. Few people have their very own fairy godmother living with them as this guy does. At six, an aged herbalist and magic wielder is taken in by his family so she can live out her days in good company, which changes the course of his life. His life becomes one of questioning, looking at the religion so ingrained into his culture, the mythic legacies around him, and the ties that bind him together.
