Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that went wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally endured that fate: As children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their darkened house and their love concoctions and their crowd of black cats. All Gillian and Sally wanted to do was escape. One would do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they shared brought them back to each other, and to the magic they couldn’t escape. A delicious novel about witches and real love, family life and everyday spells.

    James, Thank you so much, I have just started listening to this and I just can't seem to stop, so I guess I will just have to sit here all day with my earphones on. Thanks again.

      My pleasure, Elaine. It's a favourite of my girlfriend and I believe it's also a movie.

      James it's an adorable movie; best performance ever by Nicole Kidman. Rent it yesterday.

      Ahem ... most men are not attracted to films which are described as "adorable." :>P

      The ladies seem to be happy and that's good.

      As far as movies are concerned I am fine with most genres. If that's not manly then I guess me sleeping after 5 mins into most of them doesn't help either.

      What are your kind of movies, Bob?
