Title/Author: The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Pages: 396
In a nutshell (Publisher):
Master storyteller Alice Hoffman brings us the conclusion of the Practical Magic series in a spellbinding and enchanting final Owens novel brimming with lyric beauty and vivid characters.
The Owens family has been cursed in matters of love for over three-hundred years but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger—the curse is already at work.
A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.
The Book of Magic is a breathtaking conclusion that celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

Interesting that you are enjoying this when other books in the series haven’t been as good. I got stuck on book one an had to give up as it just wasn’t working for me either.

I think maybe Hoffman’s writing isn’t for everyone, just like other authors too. We find our favs along our reading journey. It took me some time to get into her story at first, but once I got the hang of it, I was hooked! 🙂

I know you can’t compare, but seeing the film adaptation might have given me the wrong impression of the books, which I am not really tempted to try. But it’s interesting that this one seems to be more enjoyable than the rest.
