THE RULES OF MAGIC - Alice Hoffman
~ Trade Paperback
For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, the Owens children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart . . .
A story of how the only remedy for being human is to be true to oneself, The Rules of Magic follows two beautiful sisters, Susanna and Franny, who grow up to be the revered (and sometimes feared) Aunts in Practical Magic.
"Hoffman creates interesting mythologies; she’s able to weave magic into the modern world; and she alludes to the magical properties of herbs and everyday items without overexplaining them and overcomplicating her narratives." -- Bookpage
