Alice Hoffman, beloved author of "Practical Magic", crafts a heartwarming prequel in "The Rules of Magic." Travel back to the 1960s and witness the unbreakable Owens family bonds challenged by an ancient curse. Susanna, determined to shield her unique children – fiery Franny, sensitive Jet, and charming Vincent – creates strict rules against outside influence. Yet, amidst their struggles against prejudice and forbidden love, this isolated family rediscovers the strength in their connection. Fans of Hoffman's work and stories about the transformative power of family will cherish this enchanting tale.


"Alice Hoffman's 'The Rules of Magic' casts a spell of family, heartbreak, and resilience. If 'Practical Magic' stole your heart, the story of aunts Franny and Jet will enchant you all over again. Though whimsical magic is woven throughout, it's the Owens siblings' journeys from childhood into adulthood that moved me deeply. I felt as if I grew alongside them, finding new meaning in lines about love, loss, and embracing who you are with each rereading. This is a book for 'Practical Magic' fans, lovers of Hoffman's lyrical prose, and anyone who enjoys a bittersweet touch of magic in their stories."


Not to forget to mention, it always makes me crave a "Margarita" at midnight.
