Though raised by their aunts in smalltown Massachussetts (and in the most suspicious house in the neighbourhood), both sisters find themselves on opposite sides of the country eventually. Practical Magic centres around the Owens women, particularly the sisters Sally and Gillian. Interestingly, this book has a movie adaptation that is more well-known and well-loved (which is not how it usually goes!) There’s also a series of sequels, one of which just came out in 2021: Magic Lessons, The Rules of Magic and The Book of Magic. The story centres around a family of love witches situated in smalltown Massachussetts.

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman is a fantasy-fiction novel published in 1995 by Penguin.
