Wit, wisdom and unexpected truths are woven into this story of power and grace, misguided love and true love. Magical from beginning to end.

Loved this book
Beautiful and chanting and haunting
By decidedlyclare
One of the more beautiful stories about women and the voiceless. Every woman has a bit of witch in her, don’t they?

A Solid Prequel and Origin Story
By Originalhubcub
Hoffman gave a lovely gift to her fans with this one in the story of Maria Owens, the start of her bloodline, her romantic missteps and of course, the curse.
Her subsequent books fit better with the movie than the original book, Practical Magic so if you saw the movie then read the book, but preferred the movie (as many seem to), you will find this an enjoyable read.
Despite being a fan, I must say that Hoffman’s writing style is admittedly a little strange: at times it is brilliantly descriptive, at other times a bit rushed and matter-of-fact. Nonetheless, it’s a beautiful book all-said, blending the genres of fantasy, romance and historical fiction.
Captivating

Could hardly wait
By partime reader
This was the most depressing book. I could hardly wait until this book was over. They gave you a bit of the other book.I read it thinking it would be better,but no.
