The Rules of Magic
Alice Hoffman
Alice Hoffman has again spun a magical world within the familiar, weaving in history, geography and the mythology of the Craft. Following siblings Jet, Franny and Vincent from their youth to old age as they deny and then embrace their unique gifts to navigate a world hostile to their magic. These three young witches, raised by parents who want to keep them safe, travel to see their Aunt Isabelle in their teens and everything changes. It is here they learn of the family curse, that anyone they fall in love with will be ruined.
Falling in love isn’t as easy to prevent as each young witch hopes, and one by one they encounter their own weaknesses. They learn that the rules they’ve grown up with are the opposite of how witches live, and learn that love and curses are out of their control.
Blended with lovely classic poetry, The Rules of Magic casts an unforgettable spell as it covers four generations of the Owens family dealing with a legacy that dates to the Salem witchcraft trials. It is a spell from which we hate to awaken.
