Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… eligible bachelor. In the New England town of Eastwick, the ladyfolk immediately take notice of the mysterious newcomer living up in Lennox Mansion with his trusty butler Fidel. They are struck not his looks, or the way he dresses, but by some intangible quality that they can’t quite place their finger on...
Personality… audacious and eccentric. The bottom line is that Daryl makes his presence known wherever he goes. He is quick to strike up a conversation with women, and when he does he acts casual and bold, like he’s known them for years. He is a classical piano virtuoso and an amateur ornithologist, and he sports an unfashionable ponytail. He is seemingly oblivious to social norms, though maybe he just chooses to ignore them.
Get to Know him in...

Toward the end of the Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorcées with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious. Alexandra, a sculptor, summons thunderstorms; Jane, a cellist, floats on the air; and Sukie, the local gossip columnist, turns milk into cream. Their happy little coven takes on new, malignant life when a dark and moneyed stranger, Darryl Van Horne, refurbishes the long-derelict Lenox mansion and invites them in to play. Thenceforth scandal flits through the darkening, crooked streets of Eastwick—and through the even darker fantasies of the town’s collective psyche.
