Practical Magic is by Alice Hoffman. The Owens women have been thought of as witches for more than 200 years. The aunts certainly make a living dealing in love charms and spells. Sally and Gillian, who were take in by the aunts when their parents died in a fire, only want out. Sally gets married and Gillian runs away. However you can't run away from your destiny or from the strong ties of family. Not at all like the movie, this is a wonderful story of family and the bonds that hold it together. It's also a love story; false love as well as true love. It almost makes you feel there really is someone out there for everyone.
