Practical Magic (Practical Magic, #1) by Alice Hoffman-317 pages
⭐⭐1/2
Sally and Gillian Owens become orphans at a very young age and move in with their eccentric old aunts. Their aunts are witches who practice magic and do spells to aid people hopelessly in love. When they get older, Gillian becomes a wanderer and Sally marries Michael, a local young man. Michael dies when he's struck by a vehicle and Sally takes it hard. A year later, Sally moves herself and her two girls, Antonia and Kylie, to New York away from the aunts. Sally wants a normal life for her family. Can Sally really be normal and can Antonia and Kylie? Or will they all be drawn back into magic and towards the aunts? I didn't like the book too much, mostly because of the meandering writing style. There are other factors, also. The movie is much better than the book in this rare instance.
