Praise for Practical Magic

“A beautiful, moving book about the power of love and the desires of the heart.”—Denver Post

“Charmingly told, and a good deal of fun.”—The New York Times Book Review

“One of her most lyrical works...Hoffman is at her best.”—San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

“Written with a light hand and rhythm...Practical Magic has the pace of a fairy tale but with the impact of accomplished fiction.”—People

“A sweet, sweet story that like the best fairy tales says more than at first it seems to.”—New York Daily News

“[Hoffman] has proved once again her potency as a storyteller, combining the mundane with the fantastic in a totally engaging way.”—The Orlando Sentinel

“Hoffman's writing has plenty of power. Her best sentences are like incantations—they won't let you get away.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Witches and ghosts, spells and sleight-of-hand weave a fanciful atmosphere in Alice Hoffman's tender comedy about clairvoyance, spells, and family ties.”—The Miami Herald

“A cosmic romance leavened with just the right touch of pragmatism and humor.”—Booklist
