Summary
The extraordinary new novel from the author of Practical Magic and The Dovekeepers
We first met the Owens in the glorious novel Practical Magic. We discovered the tragedy of the Owens siblings in Rules of Magic. Now we learn how it all began...with a baby abandoned in a snowy English field in the 1600s. Under the care of gentle Hannah Owens, little Maria learns about the 'Unnamed Arts'. Maria has a gift for them - a gift that may well prove her undoing.
When Maria is abandoned by the man she loves, she invokes the curse that will haunt her family for centuries. Because magic has rules, and they must be followed. This is the lesson that Maria will carry with her for the rest of her life, and pass on to her children and her children's children.

A real lesson in magic.
Not only is this a beautiful piece of writing and a gripping story but if you listen closely, you’ll learn much about magic. This author knows what the magic and healing properties of herbs and flowers are but also that words hold power and that one should never let a woman burn. A masterpiece.

Wonderful
Loved every second of it. Incredible story, very gripping.
As a herbalist I have noticed a few errors (eg Yarrow being planted in the poison bed, Wormwood being poisonous). This did not stop me from enjoying it though.

After outlander series, try this....
interesting and engaging fantasy well grounded in a historical context, just enough fantasy, but not too much
I suspect outlander fans will love this too.

Stunning
This is my favourite of the Alice Hoffman novels. It’s just beautiful, and my favourite narrator so far

Magical and beautiful
Fantastic book for those who like witch stories. Beautifully written and narrated. The main characters are deeply engaging and feel very real. Following them through their journey is an absolute roller coaster! Highly recommend.

Painfully slow & repetitive
Not a lot happened. There was a huge amount of repetition and none of the characters had any real depth. Genuinely baffled by all the gushingly positive reviews.

Disappointed
I really wanted to like this book but I didn't. I found the American accent of the narrator implausible for at least the first part of the book. Essex in England would not have been called Essex County, but the County of Essex. And crinolines were not worn until the 1800s. Mistakes like this ruined the authenticity of the story.

Actually loved it.
Found it a little difficult to keep up at first and at times my brain struggled but it didnt last long and for someone with such a short attention span like mine its a testament to how good it is that I have listened to it day n night for 2 days and finished it 🫶🏼
