Product Description
From Amazon
Perennial New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts's new Three Sisters Island trilogy Dance Upon the Air is pure magic. An intriguing combination of The Witches of Eastwick and Sleeping with the Enemy, it introduces readers to the idyllic town of Three Sisters Island. Reputedly conjured by a trio of sisters seeking to escape the Salem witch hunts, the island remains a place of quiet refuge for one and all, including pretty Nell Channing who arrives in town afraid of her own shadow, with few possessions and no past. But the warm, sunny days and cool, windswept nights, as well as the loving concern of new friends--especially hunky sheriff Zack Todd--soon lure skittish Nell into a much-welcome fresh life. Nell's new boss, the captivatingly lovely bookstore owner Mia Devlin (look for Mia's story, hopefully, in the not-too-distant future), wonders from what or whom Nell is running. Mia treats Nell as she would a sister, which isn't too far off the mark, helping Nell discover and explore her inner resources while Zack's romantic attentions bring a rosy glow to Nell's cheeks and to her future. But something wicked this way comes. Will Nell be ready to face and conquer her past? Even with the love and support of Mia, Zack, and Zack's fellow police officer, his peppery, down-to-earth sister Ripley, Nell has the fight of her life--the fight for her life--on her hands. Roberts continues to delight fans and create new believers with her talent and imagination. --Alison Trinkle, Amazon.com
From Publishers Weekly
The first installment of Roberts's newest trilogy set on Three Sisters island invokes the sensitive characterizations and magic that distinguished her previous trilogy (Jewels of the Sun; Tears of the Moon; Heart of the Sea). An enchanted island off the coast of Massachusetts, Three Sisters was formed as a sanctuary by three frightened witches fleeing persecution. Although the witches found peace on the island, each of them entered into an ill-fated relationship and died tragically. Now their descendants Nell Channing, Ripley Todd and Mia Devlin have to break the pattern set by their foremothers, or the island will sink. This first book focuses on Nell, a newcomer to the island who escaped her abusive husband by staging her death. Nell is unaware that she's a witch, but she is instinctively drawn to the island and secures a job as a chef in the caf‚ owned by Mia. Between coping with her bleak memories and deciding whether she can give her heart to Zach Todd, Ripley's brother and the island sheriff, Nell has little time to digest the discovery that she's a witch. In the end, however, Nell will have to come to terms with her newfound powers so that she can fight her all-too-demented husband. It's probably witchcraft that Roberts can turn out so many books and still create something that's sexy and charming, but in this tale, it's evident that she hasn't lost her fairy touch. (June 5)Forecast: No stranger to bestseller lists, Roberts triumphed in 2000 with the release of two hardcovers and eight mass market paperbacks, seven of which sold in the millions. National radio advertising and print advertisements in USA Today will ensure that her latest hits the big time as well.

A Joy to Read,
By Lani Cattwiggers (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dance Upon the Air: Three Sisters Island Trilogy #1 (Mass Market Paperback)
Nora Roberts tells a wonderful story of an young woman who fakes her own death to escape from her abusive husband. Eventually this woman finds herself in Three Sisters Island, an enchanting place with a welcoming community. Roberts' three protagonists, Nell, Ripley, and Mia are strong women with distinct personalities but who share a magical bond. All of the characters in this novel are so real, despite the fact that some of them are witches. The story is relatively fast-paced and its plot thickens as the story goes on. I recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries (although this book is by no means a mystery), anyone who craves realistic heroes, or anyone who desires a little romance.Trust me you'll be hooked!

Another incredible book.,

This review is from: Dance Upon the Air: Three Sisters Island Trilogy #1 (Mass Market Paperback)
This was one of those fantastic books of Nora Roberts, where I lose myself in the writing. Roberts writes this trilogy with a strength not seen since her Born In Trilogy. I felt this book was made up of several different story lines, but instead of Roberts stuffing them into a readers throat at once, she allows them to gracefully develop and emerge as nescesary for the story. Nell Channing is a woman who grows as the story continues, growing in her knowledge that she is a witch. I would say this is an essential summer read!

Absolutely Magical!,

This review is from: Dance Upon the Air: Three Sisters Island Trilogy #1 (Mass Market Paperback)
I recently finished reading this title, it was my first time too read anything by Nora Roberts. Absolutely wonderfull! Excellent read. The book portrayed good and evil with just enough suspense to keep the reader torn to each page. I read the book in two days couldn't seem to tear myself away, I love the way the author puts in just enough romance to keep you waiting and wanting more. The characters seemed real and true to life, it was almost as if I could envision the story coming to life as I was reading! A must have for any book lover.
