Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman (Pre-order Deluxe Paperback Edition for July 21, 2026)

A beloved modern classic of magical realism, sisterhood, family, and love, Practical Magic is the enchanting novel that inspired the iconic film.

For generations, the Owens family has been whispered about in their small Massachusetts town. Blamed for bad luck, heartbreak, and mysterious happenings, the women of the family are believed to be witches—and no one escapes the rumors.

Growing up under the care of their eccentric aunts in a house filled with herbal remedies, midnight spells, and black cats, sisters Sally and Gillian Owens dream of leaving their unusual upbringing behind. Sally longs for a quiet, ordinary life built on love and family, while Gillian seeks freedom and adventure far from home.

But no matter how far they run, the powerful bond between the sisters—and the centuries-old family curse that haunts the Owens women—draws them back together. Faced with heartbreak, loss, and extraordinary magic, Sally and Gillian must embrace their heritage and discover that the greatest magic of all lies in family, forgiveness, and unconditional love.

Lyrical, heartwarming, and unforgettable, Practical Magic is a timeless story of witches, sisterhood, romance, family secrets, and finding your true place in the world.
