À propos de cet audio
“Hoffman certainly knows how to enchant” (The New York Times Book Review) in this breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series - a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks: How far will you go to change your fate?
For over 300 years, a curse has kept the Owens family from love - but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger - the curse is already at work.
A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love.
A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, The Book of Magic celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

Over five years in the writing, Alice Hoffman’s most ambitious and mesmerizing work ever, a triumph of imagination and research set in ancient Israel. The author of such iconic bestsellers as Illumination Night, Practical Magic, Fortune’s Daughter, and Oprah’s Book Club selection Here on Earth, Alice Hoffman is one of the most popular and memorable writers of her generation. Now, in The Dovekeepers, Hoffman delivers her most masterful work yet - one that draws on her passion for mythology, magic, and archaeology and her inimitable understanding of women.

One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her. The Scarlet Letter was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Mia’s mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Community—an oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her?

perfect ending
I have read and listen to all the books in the series. I'm sad that it's over but the ending was perfect. Very easy read.

Great book
This was a great listen. I enjoyed the story, as I have all the books in this series. The story was engaging and well written. My lower star rating is due to the narrator. I don’t know how old she actually is, but she reads this book like someone’s granny doing a bedtime story. The slightly wobbly voice that sounds randomly breathless, the random change in pitch getting high and fluttery.
There’s a difference between reading a book out loud and narrating it.
This is just a book being read to you.

Great Ending
I’ve read all the books in this series and love the way this one ended. Such a great interwoven story of the Owens family throughout all four books. Sad it’s over but will read more of Alice Hoffmans books for sure.

Love this Series!!
I was over the moon to listen to this! love Alice Hoffman and her writing style. I have faithfully listened/read most of her books. This one didn't disappoint.
I wasn't overly crazy about the narrator. But that was just due to my own personal preference.

Weirdness & Rébellion & Hope
This series has been one of the most satisfying that I have ever read or listened to.
if you are looking for stories that bring Love & Courage and Hope in many flavors for many people, this is it!
Each narrator brings a unique voice, both strong and soothing, just like the Owen women.

Beautifully written, terrible accents.
I love Alice Hoffman and love this book. Beautifully written and fabulous ending to the series. Unfortunately this narrator decided to do accents for every non-American characters. It wouldn’t bother me usually but the Cockney and French accents were especially cheesy and constant through the novel... Wish they had used the same narrator from Magic Lessons…
