Practical Magic (Alice Hoffman)

Women in the Owens family have been accused of being witches forever. Two sisters who grew up in the home of their witchy aunts both move out, but they can't leave behind their ties to the magic of their birthrights. They both have trouble dealing with love and relationships, though their lives couldn't  be more different. Gillian takes off as a teen, marrying multiple times but never getting tied down, while sensible widowed Sally is raising her two daughters as responsibly as she can, feeding them nutritious vegetarian meals and making sure they are never late to school. They are brought together again by tragedy, and have to find ways to reconcile their hopes, dreams, fears, and traumas. I loved the sensitive, beautiful story telling and the flashes of magic that seem to hide just out of most people's vision.
