The Rules of Magic
The Owens siblings come of age in 1960s New York under a family curse that makes loving anyone dangerous.
A prequel to Practical Magic, following the Owens siblings, Franny, Jet and Vincent, through 1960s New York and a family curse that promises ruin to anyone who loves them. Hoffman treats the magic lightly and the inheritance seriously: the real subject is a family rule that says love is dangerous, and three young people deciding whether to obey it. Warm, sad and steeped in period detail, it works whether or not you know the earlier book.
