THE RULES OF MAGIC by Alice Hoffman

Reese Witherspoon

It’s no secret that Reese has an eye for a great book – she turned novels Gone Girl and into box-office hits! But the Oscar-winning bookworm has also launched her own online book club, and regularly recommends her favourite novels on Instagram.

She’s tipping Alice Hoffman’s spellbinding prequel to Practical Magic as the perfect holiday read.

Hundreds of years after her relative was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man, Susanna Owens is desperately trying to protect her three children – Jet, Franny and Vincent – from the family curse and keep them shrouded from their history.

But when they visit their Aunt Isabelle in a Massachusetts town, they realise their family isn’t as normal as they thought.

“It’s a story about magic, curses, and the power of love. I just know you’ll love this book and the Owens family as much as I do,” says Reese. Sounds good to us!
