About the Book
For centuries, the Owens family has carried a curse: any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is doomed. As The Book of Magic opens, beloved aunt Jet hears the fateful sound of the deathwatch beetle - a signal that she has only seven days left to live. She has finally uncovered the secret to breaking the curse, but time is desperately short. When tragedy strikes young Kylie Owens' brother, the family - Sally, Gillian, Kylie, and the aunts - must travel from Massachusetts to New York and across the Atlantic to a mysterious library in England, calling on every remaining scrap of magic they possess. Alice Hoffman weaves together generations of Owens women in a tale that spans the ordinary and the otherworldly, exploring sisterhood, sacrifice and the redemptive power of love. As the conclusion to the series that began with Practical Magic, this novel ties together threads from The Rules of Magic and Magic Lessons, delivering a satisfying, bittersweet farewell to characters readers have followed for decades. Full of gothic atmosphere, dark comedy and genuine heart, The Book of Magic is both a page-turning caper and a tender meditation on what we owe the people - and the magic - we love most.
