About this product

Product Information

From the bestselling author of The Dutch House, a secretive magician's death becomes the catalyst for his partner's journey of self-discovery in this "enchanting" book ( San Francisco Chronicle ) "that is something of a magic trick in itself." ( Newsweek ) When Parsifal, a handsome and charming magician, dies suddenly, his widow Sabine--who was also his faithful assistant for twenty years--learns that the family he claimed to have lost in a tragic accident is very much alive and well. Sabine is left to unravel his secrets, and the journey she takes, from sunny Los Angeles to the bitter windswept plains of Nebraska, will work its own magic on her. Sabine's extraordinary tale, "with its big dreams, vast spaces, and disparate realities lying side by side" captures the hearts of its readers and "proves to be the perfect place for miraculous transformations." ( The New Yorker )

Reviews
Patchett's third novel is something of a magic trick itself -- a 90s love story wrought with the same grace and classic charm of a 19th-century novel...We read Patchett's novel with the same pleasure and awe of an audience watching a chained Houdini escape from an underwater chamber.

  • Excellent Novel by a Favorite Author

    I loved this novel because I enjoy reading Ann Patchett. She has a style that really develops her characters and makes you want to find out what happens to them. This story was rather unusual in that a beautiful gal ends up marrying a gay magician and living with him and his male lover. They both end up dying and then she finds out that the family her husband said was dead, really isn't! I bought it from kitten-mom because she is a great Ebayer who sells on Ebay to support a wonderful cat charity. kitten-mom always has good items and ships fast.

  • Love, Death, Magic

    I bought the book because it was one of my book club's selections. Although it was not widely liked by the readers, everyone agreed that it excelled in its portrayal of the myriad varieties of love between people. And those familiar with either, felt that it accurately evoked both L.A. and Alliance, Nebraska. As for a presentation of magical thinking about the dead, however, my own opinion is that Didion is better.

  • Wonderful reading!

    I read another book by Ann Patchett Bel Canto, which was totally thrilling and hard to put down. She is a wonderful story teller and I read the Magician's Assistant with great pleasure, though I think it would be hard to equal Bel Canto. I have since read another books by her and enjoyed it very much, so I shall continue seeking out the books that I do not know yet.

  • the magician's assistant

    The story was very interesting. I read Bell Canto by this author and liked it very much so I decided to try some of her other books. I was not disappointed in The Magician's Assistant.

  • The Magicians Assistant

    I got this book to read for our book club. It was enjoyable till the end. I felt that the author did not know how to tie it up and just ended it. Most of the book was enjoyable. Charachters were intresting and enjoyable.
