The Magician's Assistant
sustains author Ann Patchett's proven penchant for crafting
colorful characters and marrying the ordinary with the
fantastic.
When Parsifal, Sabine's husband of more than 20 years and the
magician of the title, suddenly dies, she begins to discover
how she's glimpsed him only through smoke and mirrors.
He has managed to keep hidden the
existence of a family in Nebraska--his mother, two sisters,
and two nephews. Sabine approaches them hungrily, as if they
are a bridge to her beloved husband and a key to the mysteries
he left behind.
