Magic Lessons: The Prequel to Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

5.0

This prequel DID NOT disappoint! I finally feel a full circle closure, to have read Maria Owens' origin story. The bloodline makes more sense as Hathorne was not the only sire. Hoffman's research into practical magic is what we have embraced as homeopathic medicine and aromatherapy, leaving me with deeper sadness over the atrocities of the real trials. Maria and her legacy of daughters and sons born with the gift, sometimes the curse, of magic creates a heroine for the ages.
