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
