The Book of Magic

Practical Magic 2

De: Alice Hoffman

Narrado por: Jennifer Ehle

“Hoffman certainly knows how to enchant” (The New York Times Book Review) in this breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series - a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks: How far will you go to change your fate?

For over 300 years, a curse has kept the Owens family from love - but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger - the curse is already at work.

A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.

A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, The Book of Magic celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

A perfect ending...

I've loved these books so long, I was almost sad to see this one come out. But it was simply perfect. All the intertwined stories brought to a beautiful end.

Such a great listen.

The story is amazing and the ending was perfect. All the books in this series are worth a listen. Great author and narrator.

Best yet!

Beautiful and lush
The story within the story
Of love, curses and cures
Will listen again and again

Sad Endings and Happy New Beginnings

Alice Hoffman is such a gifted writer. I have enjoyed following the saga of the Owen’s families through all their trials and tribulations. She is a magical weaver of love, loss and rebirth! Practical Magic at it’s core.

Great book

I really enjoyed this story. Easy to listen to and the story line was fabulous I feel as if a door was closed on the lives of the Owens women. But also a bit sad for that door to close!!

Entertaining

The story was a good continuation of the story of the Owens family. It was entertaining and a good reminder of the joy and sorrow of life and the need for family.

If you’re a fan of Practical Magic, this is a must.

This book wraps the trilogy up with a perfect bow. It will make you want to write your own story.

Magical!

This was my first time I have read a book by this author. I was very impressed with the writing and story. I am hooked forever. The story was full of fantasy love
And lots of magic. I loved the characters they were full of life.Wonderful Read!!!!

Beautiful and Magical

My favorite so far. Hoffman is amazing the way she weaves ordinary lives with extraordinary magic.

My favorite

By far my favorite of the set, and beautifully performed as well. We do indeed regret the things we *don’t* do! Thanks to the author for that reminder to be wholly our magical, messy, loving selves.
