'Enticing... conjures up spells, herbal lore and romance in harsh,
historical times' Daily Mail
'We first met the Owens in the brilliant novel Practical Magic,
then we discovered the tragedy of the siblings in Rules of Magic.
Now, we learn how it all began…' Bella
'A vivid and evocative tale – prepare to be spellbound’
Woman
'Storytelling is in Hoffman’s bones, and the skill with which she
dispenses information and compresses time, so that a year passes in
a sentence, so that a tragedy witnessed becomes the propeller for a
hundred-page subplot, is (forgive me) bewitching' New York
Times Book Review
'Vivid and enchanting, with a can’t-miss-it foray into the Salem
Witch Trials, Magic Lessons is another sublime entry in
an arresting series' Esquire
'Hoffman writes deftly, and often beautifully, about nature, and
she can plot like, well, a witch, casting a spell on her
reader' Boston Globe
'A gorgeous new novel you won't want to miss' Bustle
'In Hoffman’s luminous prose, all characters, even the villains,
are not only vividly, but also compassionately, rendered... Hoffman
adeptly highlights that how one uses a talent, selflessly or
selfishly, has a sweeping impact on many lives' Booklist
