ABOUT "The Book of Magic"
The grand finale to Hoffman's bestselling "Practical Magic" quartet. The first book in the series, "Practical Magic," was adapted into a feature film starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Now the second book in the series, "The Rules of Magic," is being adapted into an HBO Max series. "Full of Hoffman’s bewitching and lucid prose and vivid characters, "The Book of Magic" is ultimately about the very human magic of family and love and actions that echo through generations. Filled with secrets and splendor and light and dark, the novel works as well as a stand-alone as it does as a conclusion to a mesmerizing series. It casts a spell.” —Matt Haig, New York Times best-selling author of "The Midnight Library"
