I would like to thank @NetGalley for the opportunity to read Magic Lesson by Alice Hoffman. Unfortunately I was only able to make it through half of the book due to unfortunate circumstances. I would like to say that I have ordered myself a copy and plan to finish and will update my review accordingly.

About the book: I very much enjoyed learning the origins of Maria Owens, we hear a lot about her from “Practical Magic”. In “Magic Lessons” we follow her story from her birth and youth under the tutelage of Hannah Owens, and as a bright youth learning and even potentially exceeding the skills of her birth mother, and beyond to North America. Ms. Hoffman writes an immersive experience, being set in the mid-1600s, the story takes what we know of witches of the era and brings it down to a personal level. I would highly recommend this to fans of “Practical Magic”.
