NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING SANDRA BULLOCK AND NICOLE KIDMAN*Previously published as THE BOOK OF MAGIC*The breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series – a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks: How far will you go to change your fateFor more than three hundred years, a curse has kept the Owens family from love – but all that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger – the curse is already at work.A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women – and one long-lost brother – to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside, where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally Owens, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand what she herself is ready to sacrifice, and Sally realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love. A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, Practical Magic 2 celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.
