The Book of Magic: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
"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 three-hundred 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.

- content: Narrator Jennifer Ehle uses a steady pace to catch listeners up on the lives of the Owens women since Hoffman's popular novel PRACTICAL MAGIC ended. Aunt Jet's final week of life reveals how to put a stop to the three-hundred-year-old curse that stalks the family just in time to save a young man's life. To destroy the curse, three generations of Owens travel to England, where it began. Ehle provides distinct voices for the young and old, happy and grieving family members. She seamlessly switches between posh British and rough Cockney accents. Latin spells are spoken confidently as the Owens' journey propels them to contemplate the thin line that marks the crossover to dark magic. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
