I haven’t watched the movie so I can’t attest to that, but I saw similar comments enough to say that I’d probably recommend the book to someone who hasn’t seen the movie yet. The books follow the adventures of two witches, Sally and Gillian, who are trying and failing to break away from their magical lineage. When the beautiful and precocious sisters Sally and Gillian Owens are orphaned at a young age, they are taken to a small Massachusetts town to be raised by their eccentric aunts, who happen to dwell in the darkest, eeriest house in town. If you love the witch aspect of Harry Potter, Vampires, fantasy books, or time travel books then you will love The All Souls trilogy.Her novels have received mention as notable books of the year by The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, Library Journal, and People Magazine. Looking for a fresh start and a “normal” life for her children, Sally too leaves the aunts behind and moves to a new city. For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town.

The setting of the house and the town were great, the creepiness of Angelov is also so well done, you’re on edge with the sisters at times as things are obviously not okay after his death, and Sally is a bit more accepting of magic in the movie. Like her great-grandfather Vincent, she looks almost exactly like their ancestor Maria Owens, to the point of being identical twins. The Practical Magic series by Alice Hoffman is a good book series for readers who enjoy literary fiction, character-driven novels, and/or epic family sagas, as well as books with a hint of magic. If the curse should ever be broken, Sally must sacrifice for love and Aunt Franny must sacrifice for family.Since these providers may collect personal data like your IP address we allow you to block them here.
