Review: The Book of Magic

The Book of Magic The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It has been three hundred years since a love curse was placed on the Owens family.  Some women have accepted the curse and loved anyways, while others have tried to not love.  Jet Owens knows she is about to die and that she isn’t the only one at risk.  Three generations of the Owens family are working hard to break this curse.  They must travel widely and solicit help from unlikely sources.  The newest generation is learning about close-kept secrets and all of them will uncover hidden knowledge.  Can they break this curse?  What will need to be sacrificed along the way to open the path?

 

The Book of Magic is the fourth book in the Practical Magic series.  These books were not written in order and it doesn’t matter if readers tackle them in publication order or storyline order, this is the final book.  Hoffman has created a generational story that weaves mothers, daughters, children, and all love relationships.  This series shows that love is not only needed but necessary for us as humans.  A great ending, but please read the other books first.
