The Invisible Hour A Novel

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Practical Magic series comes an enchanting novel about love, heartbreak, and the enduring magic of books. Mia Jacob has grown up in 'The Community,' an oppressive, cult-like farm in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden and books are considered evil. One day, Mia secretly discovers a library and finds a copy of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. The book seems to speak directly to her, mirroring the pain and life of her mother, Ivy. This discovery sets Mia on a journey of self-discovery that eventually leads her to break the boundaries of time. Transported back to 1837 Salem, Mia meets the young author Nathaniel Hawthorne before his masterpiece is even written. Their lives become irrevocably intertwined in a story that explores the power of literature to save us, the fluid nature of time, and the truth that love is stronger than any chains of the past.
