The beloved classic novel, the basis of the classic film starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock

As children, sisters Gillian and Sally were forever outsiders in their small New England town, teased, taunted and shunned for the air of magic that seems to sparkle in the air around them. All Gillian and Sally ever wanted was to get away.

And eventually they do - one marries, the other runs as far from home as she can manage.

Years later, however, tragedy will bring the sisters back together. And they’ll find that no matter what else may happen, they’ll always have each other. An enchanting tale of love, forgiveness and family, Practical Magic is beloved of readers of all ages.©1995 Alice Hoffman (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd Fantasy Horror Feel-Good Magic Witchcraft

Having loved the film I really enjoyed the book. The story is slightly different and worth listening to.

A wonderfully told story

The narration is tedious. Nearly every sentence ends in a whisper. I found myself drifting many times and having to rewind the book as I had no idea what was going on. The book itself is ok, but be mindful if you are listening to it in the car while driving with children, as the F word is one of her favourite words, which breaks the flow of the book a little, in my opinion.

Unfortunately the narration didn’t go well with me.
