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.
