Titles in Collection & Description
From bestselling author Alice Hoffman, Magic Lessons is the sweeping origin story of the Owens family, and the first instalment in the beloved Practical Magic series.
The novel begins in 17th-century England, where young Maria Owens is abandoned in the snowy countryside. Raised by a woman who teaches her the “Unnamed Arts,” Maria learns about the power — and the danger — of love. When she is betrayed and accused of witchcraft, Maria is forced to flee to Salem, Massachusetts, where her fate — and the infamous Owens family curse — begins.
Rich in historical detail and atmospheric storytelling, Magic Lessons explores themes of resilience, independence and the cost of forbidden love. This powerful prequel reveals how the Owens women came to be bound by a curse that echoes through generations.
A beautifully written tale of survival, magic and destiny, Magic Lessons is perfect for fans of historical fiction, magical realism and the enchanting world of the Practical Magic series.
