The BBC Radio 2 Book Club has selected "Spoonbenders" as their choice for this season. The novel has been praised for its humor, charm, and suitability for the summer season. The New York Times Book Review has described it as "hilarious, freewheeling," while the Guardian has praised it for its "gloriously imaginative" storytelling. Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, the author, has received high acclaim for her novel, with many critics praising its imaginative and unique portrayal of a dysfunctional family.
The story revolves around the Amazing Telemachus Family, who achieved widespread fame in the mid-1970s for their magic and mind-reading act. However, their magic disappeared one night, live on national television. Two decades later, we encounter the family again, when grandson Matty discovers powers within himself and realizes that his family is truly extraordinary. "Spoonbenders" is the legacy and legend of a dysfunctional, normal, and entirely unique family across three generations of big personalities and socially inept recluses. Each member of the family is cursed with the potential of being something special, but they must navigate their own personal struggles and challenges to realize their full potential.
The novel explores themes of family, identity, and the power of magic. It is filled with memorable characters, witty dialogue, and unexpected twists and turns. "Spoonbenders" is a captivating and entertaining read that will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series. Whether you are a fan of magic, family drama, or just looking for a fun and engaging story, "Spoonbenders" is a must-read.
