Love spells, charms, and enchantments play a significant role in their lives, enabling them to experience intense emotions and passionate desires. However, this powerful magic also comes with a price. The Owens family is cursed with the so-called "Owens curse," which states that any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is doomed to an untimely death.
The Rules of 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 sixties, 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. Yet, the 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 memorable aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy.
Alice Hoffman delivers “fairy-tale promise with real-life struggle” (The New York Times Book Review) in a story how the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is “irresistible…the kind of book you race through, then pause at the last forty pages, savoring your final moments with the characters” (USA TODAY, 4/4 stars).
This curse has haunted the family for centuries, leaving them with a sense of fear and loneliness. It is a constant reminder of the danger and responsibility that comes with their magical abilities. Despite the challenges they face, the Owens family continues to embrace their magic and use it for good. They have developed a unique set of skills and knowledge, passing down their magical traditions from one generation to another. Their magical rituals, potions, and spells are deeply rooted in their family history, connecting them to their ancestors and their heritage. The Owens family magic is not just a whimsical fantasy; it is a reflection of the complexity of human emotions and relationships. It explores the endless possibilities and consequences of harnessing supernatural abilities, shining a light on the fragility and resilience of the human soul. It is a reminder that magic, like love, can be both beautiful and challenging, and that with great power comes great responsibility. The Owens family magic is a testament to the enduring spirit of love and the indomitable human desire for connection and belonging..
