Practical Magic

For more than two centuries, the Owens women have been feared, blamed, and whispered about in their small Massachusetts town. Orphaned as children and raised by their eccentric aunts, sisters Sally and Gillian Owens grow up determined to escape the ancestral curse they inherited. Choosing opposite paths, the sisters try to outrun their past, until love, loss, and long-buried secrets pull them back together. Forced to confront their family legacy, Sally and Gillian must decide whether the past can be overcome—and how much they are willing to risk for love.

Practical Magic debuted as a New York Times bestselling novel by Alice Hoffman in 1995 and was adapted into the beloved Warner Bros. film in 1998, starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. The enduring popularity of the story led Hoffman to expand the Owens family saga with three additional novels The Rules of Magic (2017), Magic Lessons (2020), and The Book of Magic (2021). A highly anticipated sequel to the film Practical Magic is set to premiere in cinemas on September 11, 2026.
