The Witches of Cambridge
by Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman opens a new series with The Witches of Cambridge, a historical fiction novel steeped in magical realism that follows two Radcliffe College students pulled into a secret coven of witches just as Cold War-era suspicion closes in on anyone who seems different.
Practical Magic
by Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic follows the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, raised by two eccentric aunts in a Massachusetts town that has blamed their family for its bad luck for two hundred years. A magical realism novel about inheritance and sisterhood that runs darker and sadder than the movie it inspired.
