Magic Lessons: The Prequel to Practical Magic
An unforgettable novel that traces a centuries old curse to its source and thereby unveils the tragic story of Maria Owens, matriarch of the Owens family who was accused of witchcraft in 1600s Salem, Massachusetts . . .
Discover the ancestors of the Owens women we've grown to love in Hoffman's novels Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic with Magic Lessons, an intense prequel novel that celebrates life, love, and, of course, magic.
"Hoffman offers an eye-opening account of how single women were treated in the 17th century, particularly when their knowledge or intelligence was deemed threatening [in a] redemptive story of a fiercely independent woman that adds an engrossing, worthwhile chapter to the series." -- Publisher's Weekly
