Ebook About In an unforgettable novel that traces a centuries-old curse to its source, beloved author Alice Hoffman unveils the story of Maria Owens, accused of witchcraft in Salem, and matriarch of a line of the amazing Owens women and men featured in Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic.Where does the story of the Owens bloodline begin? With Maria Owens, in the 1600s, when she’s abandoned in a snowy field in rural England as a baby. Under the care of Hannah Owens, Maria learns about the “Nameless Arts.” Hannah recognizes that Maria has a gift and she teaches the girl all she knows. It is here that she learns her first important lesson: Always love someone who will love you back. When Maria is abandoned by the man who has declared his love for her, she follows him to Salem, Massachusetts. Here she invokes the curse that will haunt her family. And it’s here that she learns the rules of magic and the lesson that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Love is the only thing that matters. Magic Lessons is a celebration of life and love and a showcase of Alice Hoffman’s masterful storytelling.Book Magic Lessons: The Prequel to Practical Magic Review :
I enjoyed the book until I read, on page 271, “...but still he kissed her and told her he didn’t care if they were witches or warlocks or zombies or Republicans.” Another proof that conservative thinkers and value-holders are perceived as less than normal, somehow freakish, and at best a joke! And that that attitude is a normal and healthy! How deeply offensive and frightening for our society! I lost all interest in the remainder of the book and in the sequel- which, more’s the pity, I’ve already purchased. The author’s personal politics have no place in a work of fiction. A big irony is that the book’s theme speaks to owning who you are regardless of the shame others bring to their interpretation of you. Who is she to shame conservative thinkers? Maria was just a newborn when her mother abandoned her at a clearing in the forest near Hannah Owens’ hut. Hannah was taken with the baby and brought her up as her daughter. Hannah was a healer with the gift of sight, and Maria grew up knowing that she, too, was special in that way. Hannah’s death, eleven years after Maria’s arrival, was rather inevitable, for she could never refuse a woman in need, and it was precisely one who brought death with her. Maria went to live with her biological mother for a while—she was also born with “the sight”—and complemented Hannah’s teachings with some “dark arts teachings” of her own. Upon parting from her mother, Maria was sold to indenture servitude in the island of Curacao where she remained until she was sixteen, when, following her heart, or what passed by love at the time, she ended up in the fledging village of Salem, Massachusetts, and her life would change in irrevocable ways.I haven’t read Practical Magic or The Rules of Magic, so I had to base my judgment on the merits of this novel alone. Magic Lessons is mostly a narrative, well written, as expected from an author at the peak of her writing prowess, though a bit repetitive in parts. I expected the novel to be rather predictable, as Maria Owens ended up in Salem, Massachusetts, so it was inevitable to associate the plot with Salem’s witch trials, and there was a lot of that, but luckily enough Alice Hoffman avoided that pitfall by plunging the story in interesting new directions that gave it depth and plausibility.Interestingly, I have become keen on reading Practical Magic and its prequel, so I’ll be reading more about the Owens family in the future.Disclaimer: I received from the publisher a free e-book via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
