I loved their comfort with each other, their confidence with magic, their authority, their power. The book focuses on Sally and Gillian as adult sisters, and on Antonia and Kylie, Sally's teenage daughters – but I always loved best the elderly aunts, Francis and Jet.

I loved both, talked passionately about how very different they were from each other, how glad I was that I'd seen the film first so as to appreciate it on its own terms. I saw Practical Magic the film when I was 14, a little while before I read Practical Magic the book.

The Coldest Winter is a successor to The Best and the Brightest, even though in historical terms it precedes it. More than three decades later, Halberstam used his unrivalled research and formidable journalistic skills to shed light on another dark corner in our history: the Korean War. ![]() ![]() David Halberstam's magisterial and thrilling The Best and the Brightest was the defining book for the Vietnam War. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments The emperor of ocean park![]() ![]() A series of shady characters seek Garland out for information on the cryptic "arrangements" his father had made, and Garland is drawn into a skein of danger.
