The Magic Circle

Heartfelt journey through grief, memory, and healing.

"The Magic Circle" might resonate deeply with you if you've experienced the pain of watching a loved one battle a grave illness. Charmaine Chan writes with a raw honesty that captures the sorrow of impending loss, yet also celebrates the bittersweet nostalgia of shared memories. It's a poignant reminder of how stories can connect us, aid in processing grief, and perhaps, offer a measure of solace.

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.
