The Witches of Eastwick
''The Witches of Eastwick'' is a 1984 novel by John Updike.
==Plot==
The story, set in the fictional Rhode Island town of Eastwick in the late 1960s, follows the witches Alexandra Spofford, Jane Smart, and Sukie Rougemont, who acquired their powers after leaving or being left by their husbands (although Alexandra is a widow). Their coven is upset by the arrival of a devil-like character, Daryl Van Horne. The mysterious Daryl seduces each of the women, encouraging them to play with their powers and creating a scandal in the town.
The three women share Daryl in relative peace until he unexpectedly marries their young, innocent friend, Jenny, on whom they resolve to have revenge by giving her cancer through their magic. The witches doubt their judgment after Jenny's death when Daryl flees town with her younger brother, Chris, apparently his lover. In his wake, he leaves their relationships strained and their sense of self in doubt. Eventually, each summons her ideal man and leaves town.
