Thornyhold

Thornyhold by Mary Stewart

This is a really interesting old story of folklore and magic. The main character, Gilly, is willed a house by her godmother. Along with the house comes a sense of belonging, and she realizes her gifts-not just magical, but practical. Working with the garden, she falls in love-but that love is threatened by a local coven. An older story, but it nonetheless has a magic of its own.
