MAGIC LESSONS - ALICE HOFFMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

The extraordinary new novel from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and THE DOVEKEEPERS We first met
the Owens in the glorious novel Practical Magic. We discovered the tragedy of the Owens
siblings in Rules of Magic. Now we learn how it all began... with a baby abandoned in a snowy
English field in the 1600s. Under the care of gentle Hannah Owens  little Maria learns 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 followed. This is the lesson that Maria
will carry with her for the rest of her life  and pass on to her children and her children's
children. PRAISE for ALICE HOFFMAN 'Beautiful  harrowing  a major contribution to twenty-first
century literature' Toni Morrison  Nobel Laureate in Literature  on The Dovekeepers '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  women's
solidarity in the face of strife  and the magic that's quietly present in our day-to-day
living. Put The Dovekeepers at the pinnacle of Hoffman's extraordinary body of work. I was
blown away.' Wally Lamb  author of She's Come Undone '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
