For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620,
when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the
wrong man.
Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of
the sixties, when the whole world is about to change,
Susanna Owens knows that her three children are
dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as
milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can
read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who
began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.
From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children:
No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing
black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about
magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love.
But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the
small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been
blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they
uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth
of who they are. Yet, the children cannot escape love even
if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the
human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be
the memorable aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent,
their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy.
