Practical magic : 25th Anniversary Edition

Celebrate 25 years of Practical Magic, Alice Hoffman’s novel of family, witchcraft, love, loss, and the complicated bonds between sisters. This anniversary paperback includes a new introduction by the author, whether you’re returning to the Owens family or meeting them for the first time.

For more than two centuries, the Owens women have had a reputation for witchery in their small Massachusetts town. Sally and Gillian Owens grow up as outsiders under the watchful eyes of their eccentric aunts, surrounded by rumours, strange remedies, black cats, and generations of family history.

The sisters take different paths in search of a life beyond that reputation. Sally hopes for an ordinary life with marriage and family; Gillian leaves home behind. Yet distance does little to loosen their bond, and they are eventually drawn back together.

Blending magical realism, family drama, romance, and folklore, Practical Magic explores sisterhood, inherited traditions, grief, and the ways family history follows us.
