The three divorcées - Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie - have left town, remarried, and become widows.

  • "Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie leave Eastwick, marry, are widowed, and return to the seaside village three decades later."
  • "More than three decades have passed since the events described in John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick, and the three divorcees - Alexandra, Jane and Sukie - have left town, remarried and become widows. They cope with their grief and solitude by travelling the world and renewing old acquaintances. Why not, Sukie and Jane ask Alexandra, go back to Eastwick for the summer? The Rhode Island seaside town, where they indulged in wicked mischief under the influence of the diabolical Darryl Van Horne, is still magical for them. Darryl is gone and their lovers of the time have aged or died, but enchantment remains in the familiar streets and scenery of the village where they enjoyed their time as free and empowered women."
