Publisher's summary

In this prequel to Practical Magic, we meet the Aunts: sisters Frances and Jet, and Vincent, their brother. Their mother, Susanna, knew they were unique: pale, red-haired Franny, who could commune with birds; shy, beautiful Jet, who knows what others are thinking; and charismatic Vincent, built for trouble.

Susanna sets some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles and absolutely no books about magic. But, desperate to uncover who they really are, the Owens siblings head down a life-altering course, filled with secrets and truths, devastation and joy, and magic and love.

It was exceptional

Both the book and the reading were exceptional. This gave even more depth to the Practical Magic movie I had watched many years ago. I can't wait to get started on the Practical Magic book.

Too sad

Too sad for a fairy tale. Almost everybody died in the story and for those who lived are lonely are missing the dead ones. So depressing
