Thank you to Simon & Schuster for providing the ARC to me through Goodreads Giveaway.
Hoffman's fans will appreciate this prequel. Her signature storytelling provides the background to the Owens bloodline in Massachusetts which we were introduced to in Practical Magic.
The mix of history, magical realism and horticulture (this reader would appreciate some of the recipes for the various teas...) captured my interest and kept me up past my bedtime.
