Beschreibung

In an unforgettable novel that traces a centuries-old curse to its source, beloved author Alice Hoffman unveils the story of Maria Owens, accused of witchcraft in Salem, and matriarch of a line of the amazing Owens women and men featured in Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic.

Where does the story of the Owens bloodline begin? With Maria Owens, in the 1600s, when she’s abandoned in a snowy field in rural England as a baby. Under the care of Hannah Owens, Maria learns about the “Nameless Arts.” Hannah recognizes that Maria has a gift and she teaches the girl all she knows. It is here that she learns her first important lesson: Always love someone who will love you back.

When Maria is abandoned by the man who has declared his love for her, she follows him to Salem, Massachusetts. Here she invokes the curse that will haunt her family. And it’s here that she learns the rules of magic and the lesson that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Love is the only thing that matters.

Magic Lessons is a celebration of life and love and a showcase of Alice Hoffman’s masterful storytelling.

A calm and beautiful book.

Sehr bunt beschrieben aber erinnert mich sehr an meine Schullektüre. Die wenigen Gespräche haben die Handlung nicht aufgelockert und keiner spricht so

Leseempfehlung.

Über die Lebensgeschichte von Frauen verschiedener Generationen in Amerika in einer Zeit der Hexenverfolgung. Die Frauen sind Hexen und es handelt sich um die Vorgeschichte zur bekannten Geschichte der zwei Schwestern aus Practical Magic. Schwierige Themen mit viel Tiefe und großem Unterhaltungswert erzählt.

This is technically the second time reading this book. I should do that more often because I understood and noticed things more the second run through. I love this book and the story and characters. The ending was bittersweet but understandable.
