Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman



Read January 2018.

This is one of those books that I had been meaning to read for ages, after seeing the film with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, which I really enjoyed.

The book is quite different to the film, of course, but still tells the story of two, very different sisters with magic in their veins. This book is actually more gentle than the film and is more about life and the bond that the sisters share, than just love, and covers a greater time span.

Interestingly, I think I preferred the film over the book in many ways, which is a very rare thing.
Maybe Alice Hoffman is just not for me?
