Book of the Week: Witches on the Road Tonight by Sheri Holman Sheri Holman possesses - and offers her readers - a set of literary gifts that rarely come in pairs. In Witches on the Road Tonight she follows a backwoods Appalachian family in 1940 to Manhattan in 2011. What lies between is a stream of singing sentences that advance the imaginative plot. The only thing wrong with this novel is that although it garnered raves in all the right places, every single person on earth has yet to buy it, and everyone should have. Luckily, it’s not too late.
