A Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Seen on the Today Show

“If you like Practical Magic… you will love Black Candle Women.”—Jenna Bush Hager

Named a Best Book of the Month by: Shondaland, MS. Magazine, TODAY.com, Reader’s Digest, Katie Couric Media, AARP Sisters, Goodreads, BookRiot

A warm and wry family drama with a magical twist about four generations of Black women, a family love curse, and the secrets they keep for and from each other over one very complicated year

Generations of Montrose women—Augusta, Victoria, Willow—have always lived together in their quaint California bungalow. They keep to themselves, never venture far from home, and their collection of tinctures and spells is an unspoken bond between them. But when young Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, their quiet lives are thrown into disarray.

For the family has withheld a crucial secret from Nickie all these years: any person a Montrose woman falls in love with will die. Their surprise guest forces each woman to reckon with her own past choices and mistakes. And as new truths about the curse emerge, they're set on a collision course dating back to 1950s New Orleans’s French Quarter—where a hidden story in a mysterious book may just hold the answers they seek in life and in love…

“Richly imagined and elegantly told, with plenty of satisfying secrets, heartaches, and twists.”—Sadeqa Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve, a Reese's Book Club Pick

“Propulsive and poignant, Black Candle Women concocts an intoxicating potion of warmth, wisdom, and wonder.”—Ava DuVernay

Dear Listener,

What inspired me to want to tell my story?
" Black Candle Women was inspired by my family’s history in New Orleans, where I spent my summers growing up, and also by an old folder I once discovered while visiting my childhood home. The folder was stuffed with a variety of seemingly random materials—recipe cards, ripped-out magazine pages, and scribbled notes from my mother—that together told a bigger, beautiful story about love, family, and culture." - Diane Marie Brown, writer of Black Candle Women

Editorial Review

An enchanting debut
Something must be brewing in the literary world, because for a while now, we have been blessed by an abundance of witchy listens to devour. I’m certainly not complaining, especially with my first trip to New Orleans right around the corner. Having grown up not too far from Salem, Massachusetts, I am so excited to explore the occult through such a different, distinctly vibrant cultural lens, and what better way to begin finding fresh perspective than by listening to a debut novel? One part romance, one part love letter to the forces that bind families together across generations, Diane Marie Brown’s Black Candle Women crafts an entirely enchanting portrait of the perks, pitfalls, and powers that arise when a woman manifests her deepest desires. —Haley H., Audible Editor

Enjoyed the story of the three generations and how their lives are intertwined. You are affected by the history of your family and this is a story of how one bad decision can affect generations to come.

I couldn’t stop listening. I was up all night. I listen to it in one night. The story the characters everything about it was just fabulous. Maybe it’s because I grew up in LA and I love New Orleans but I just found this book to be such a light hearted and Fun listen

Narrator did a great job distinguishing between characters. Hoodoo, voodoo was interesting in this story.

This was so good I had to keep listening I didn’t want to even put it down after I had to go to work. This was a great interpretation to hoodoo and what the different ways it could affect a family. I want to read more from this author.

A new love

Good Story

This story was very well written and drew you in from the beginning. I've never been a believer of Hulu or voodoo but I can see the appeal in it when presented like this. I also like the fact that the practitioners were also firm believers in God.
A selfish act that 1 woman committed put her entire family to 3 generations and prevented all of them from truly living their best lives . It took the matriarch of the family, witnessing how her great-granddaughter was suffering to finally admit the truth and break the curse.

Family secrets keep you in bondage!

This book was very thoughtful to each character depicted in each chapter and the telling of her story. Felt close to the women and empathized with them.

The generational strength of these women
