«The Widows of Eastwick» is the novel by John Updike, sequel to «Las brujas de Eastwick», published by Knopf in hardback (320 pages, in English).
More than three decades after the events of «Las brujas de Eastwick», the three divorced women —Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie— have been widowed and decide to return to the coastal town of Eastwick, Rhode Island. There they recall their past of freedom and mischief with the diabolical Darryl Van Horne, but the town has changed and there are still neighbours who bear grudges. The novel follows how they face the echoes of their old misdeeds, a mysterious counter-spell, and the ravages of old age.
It is the second instalment of John Updike's Eastwick series. The English edition is from 2008.
