I finished it and instantly wanted to reread the entire thing (despite it being 4am). I already know that Magic Lessons is going to be near the top of my future 'Best Books of 2020' list. Not only does this book bring such depth to Hoffman's already well excecated world, but I really appreciated the subtle but nevertheless potent look at women's rights spread throughout the novel. However, Magic Lessons is on a whole new level. Witchy books are a must-read for me during October, and though I wouldn't put the other two books from this "series" on my favorites list, they were enjoyable reads with very vivid settings. I'm a huge fan of Alice Hoffman's witchy world so reading what is essentially the origin story of the curse that is the main focus of both Practical Magic and The Rules Of Magic was great fun. I like that as it adds a bit of, dare I say, magic to the story. That is the synopsis that I've seen almost everywhere for the book, but that's actually only the first 1/3 of the novel. Being abandoned once more by a man who was said to of loved her, she follows him to Salem, Massachusetts during the witch trails. From there we follow Maria throughout her childhood, teens, and eventual adulthood as she learns the hardest lesson of all - who you should love. Abandoned at an orphanage as a baby, she is taken in by a fellow witch Hannah who offers to train Maria in the craft. Even as a young child Maria Owen had magic running through her blood.
