November 2017 Book of the Month

As so often happens when a book is filmed as this is, there is far greater detail on the page than on the screen, here perhaps more than most.  In its recently written prequel, The Rules of Magic, which follows the lives of the wacky aunts Jet and Fran, we are only introduced to these sisters who dominate this story, Gillian and Sally, towards the end of that book.  Here, in this original classic published in 1995, we get their story. Unlike the film (which is wonderful) the troubles Sally has bringing up her teenage daughters as a single mum, is extensively handled.  Sadly the aunts are rather in the background and Gillian’s love interest comes in late too.  If you have not read this and only seen the film then I urge you to do so but read The Rules of Magic first since you now can.  Both books and the film are enchanting, highly recommended.
