The Rules of Magic By Alice Hoffman

Everyone needs a little magic in their lives... The Rules of Magic is the long-awaited prequel to Practical Magic, a New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon's Book Club pick!

In this sparkling prequel, we meet the Aunts from Practical Magic: sisters Frances and Jet, along with their brother Vincent. From the beginning, their mother Susanna knew they were unique: Franny, with her skin as pale as milk and blood-red hair, could commune with birds; Jet, as shy as she is beautiful, knows what others are thinking; and Vincent is so charismatic that he was built for trouble.

Susanna needed to set some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, and certainly, absolutely, no books about magic…

But the Owens siblings are desperate to uncover who they really are. Each heads down a life-altering course, filled with secrets and truths, devastation and joy, and magic and love. Despite the warning handed down through the family for centuries – Know that for our family, love is a curse – they will all strive to break the rules and find true love.

A perfect read for crisp autumn nights!
