Description

From beloved author Alice Hoffman comes the spellbinding prequel to her best seller Practical Magic.

Find your magic.

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 '60s, 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. Back in New York City, each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse.

The Owens 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 revered and sometimes feared aunts in Practical Magic while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is a story about the power of love reminding us that the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This audiobook, narrated by Marin Ireland, is an enchanting performance of a charming story.... Unlike some performers, Ireland doesn't focus on creating extremely distinct voices for each character; instead, she provides a perfect match for author Hoffman's creative style, which is warm and lyrical. Ireland speaks clearly, enunciating every word, and reads at a smooth pace." (AudioFile)

Odd but Interesting

It was very easy for me to listen to. The story was easy to follow. By the end I wished there was more. Even though I grew up watching the movie "Practical Magic" I will probably buy that Audiobook as well.

“Love More” ❤️

I savoured every moment of this story. The sisters devotion to one another and their love for their brother is palpable. The most important rule of magic: “love more.” Words to live by. Narration is beautifully done.

Wow. That’s it, wow!

You know, I was a big fan of the movie Practical Magic. I’ve hesitated reading a prequel because everyone knows they are rarely good. I was recently in our local bookstore looking for inspiration on something new to listen to. The staff members pick their favourites reads and The Rules of Magic was presented as a staff recommendation.

What a good choice. I was hooked from the first five minutes. The story of the three Owens siblings had me entranced. Their relationships with each other and their struggles with being different their entire life touched something inside. I was completely part of their story and part of their world.

Take a chance, you will enjoy The Rules of Magic. Happy anniversary Audible.ca #Audible1

Excellent

Excellent story! I enjoy Marin Ireland’s reading. I have listened to other books she has narrated. I am going to get the sequels to this book.

Loved every minute of this book.

I loved every minute listening to this book, I was sad when it was over. The person reading it did a great job, and pulled me into every character.
I will be listening to the other books in the series and checking out Alice Hoffman's other books.

Sweet

Light summer read with interesting (albeit predictable) plot twists. If you like Alice Hoffman books you will enjoy this one.

I LOVED this one... 1960s New York! Witches! Love!

I loved this one! I haven't read Practical Magic since I was in high school, but I have probably seen the (not entirely book-faithful) film adaptation dozens of times. This prequel was perfect! Full of magic, not just in the spells and curses, but also in the settings so real, you can almost taste them. I wish I could dive into the NYC of Hoffman's Owens siblings.

Incredible

I was always a fan of the movie Practical Magic, and had no idea it was based on a book series. This book, the background story of the two aunts, was so captivating. It made my morning commutes bearable. In fact - some days, I WISHED for more traffic so I could listen longer ;) #Audible1

Very good

I don't often read fiction books but Practical Magic was an old favorite movie and someone recommended this book to me.
I really enjoyed the story and the narrator.
Nice easy listening that was entertaining and heartwarming.

Growing up, Magic & Cursed in Love?

I enjoyed this story of 3 siblings & the story of how they grew up during the 1950s to the 1970s with some magical twists. This is a prequel to the book "Practical Magic" and it tells the stories of the aunts & their brother as they grew up.

The story asks if the Owens are really cursed when it comes to love & explores the theme of love, familial & romantic. I thought the narrator did a good job.

Although I found some of the characters decisions frustrating at times, I really enjoyed this story about the bonds of family, magic & love.
