This is a prequel to Practical Magic but it is not imperative that you have read Practical Magic first.
This is one of those books that immediately pulled you in and won’t let you put it down until the end!
If you love magical realism…if you love Alice Hoffman’s writing…even if you have only watched the movie…you MUST give this a try. It’s such a beautiful story of love, devotion and the strength of family ties.
In this book you get to learn more about Maria Owens and the origin of the curse.
This is the story of Jet and Frances when they were the younger generation, full of longing and fears.
There is the dreaded curse that threatens doom to any man who loves an Owens woman, but these are woman who deserve to be loved and would want to be loved, if only it weren’t for that darned curse!
If you haven’t already read Practical Magic, you will want to after finishing this book 🙂
This book is a definite 5 star book and worth so much more than just a read!
I hope you enjoy it as much as i have.
