Alice Hoffman

The Rules of Magic Overview

Alice Hoffman’s prequel to the bestselling novel, Practical Magic, tells the story of the aunts, Franny and Jet. The sisters, along with their brother, grow up in Manhattan during the 1950s and 1960s, exploring relationships, magic, and loss. Hoffman combines the Owens family history of witches in the seventeenth century with the struggles the siblings face during the time of free love and the Vietnam War.
