"Hoffman certainly knows how to enchant" (The New York Times Book
Review) in this breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic
series--a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks how far will you
go to change your fate?
For over three-hundred years a curse has kept the Owens family from
love--but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library,
the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens
hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live.
Jet is not the only one in danger--the curse is already at work.
A frantic attempt to save a young man's life spurs three generations of
the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts
to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English
countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed
Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from
them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely
protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is
and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand
that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally
Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.
A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, The Book of
Magic celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and
anyone who has ever been in love.
