MAGIC LESSONS - A PREQUEL TO PRACTICAL MAGIC

Editeur(s) : SIMON & SCHUSTER


The extraordinary and enchanting novel tracing a centuries-old curse back to its beginning from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and THE DOVEKEEPERS For centuries, the women of the Owens family have been cursed: any man who loves an Owens woman will die. It begins with a baby abandoned in a snowy English field in the 1600s. Gentle Hannah Owens takes the baby in, and as the child grows, Hannah teaches little Maria about the ''Unnamed Arts''. Maria has a gift for them a gift that may well prove her undoing. When Maria is abandoned by the man she loves, she invokes the curse that will haunt her family for centuries. Because magic has rules, and they must be obeyed. PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature Toni Morrison I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader. Jodi Picoult In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, womens solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic thats quietly present in our day-to-day living. Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffmans extraordinary body of work. I was blown away. Wally Lamb Alice Hoffman takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things. Amy Tan Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel Joseph Heller ''Oh, what a book this is! Hoffmans exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us it is a glorious experience.'' Elizabeth Strout
