A few weeks later she reappears unharmed and with little memory of what happened to her--or at least little that she is willing to share. Was Mary abducted, or did she fake her disappearance? This question haunts Mary's family, her psychologist, even Mary herself. Weaving together three narratives, \u003ci\u003eThe Uses of Enchantment \u003c\/i\u003econjures a spell in which the hallucinatory power of a young woman's sexuality, and her desire to wield it, has devastating consequences for all involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeidi Julavits \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of two previous novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Mineral Palace \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Effect of Living Backwards\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a collaborative book, \u003ci\u003eHotel Andromeda\u003c\/i\u003e, with the artist Jenny Gage.
