Hi!
I've been asking this question in all kinds of fora and nobody has been able to help me yet. Maybe one of you can.
I'm looking for a book I read as a kid (i.e. about 12 years ago) called "A sprig of hemlock".
Can't remember much of it, but it's weird. Reality interlaced with eery things happening. It starts off with this girl suddenly remembering a different past than she has up to now. As if she's been living with a fake memory. It turns out she was in love with a man married to a modern kind of witch. And for reasons I've forgotten, the witch made her promise to forget all about it for a certain period of time, which has now ended. (They used a sprig of hemlock in the forgetting-spell, hence the title). In the end there is some kind of fight that takes place in a swimming pool, where she can use everything she posesses, but her opponent can use everything he doesn't posess (or something of that sort).
The book probably wasn't too brilliant, but the fact that I can't find it makes me start to believe I've been hallucinating! I've GOT to find it!
If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Onions
