Mozhet, prichinoĭ tomu byl ikh strannyĭ dom-osobni͡ak: s pylʹnoĭ mebelʹi͡u, skripuchimi lestnit͡sami, plemenem chernykh kotov i letuchimi myshami na kryshe? Ili zhe -- neordinarnye sposobnosti, kotorye otkryvai͡utsi͡a na trinadt͡satyĭ denʹ rozhdenii͡a u kazhdoĭ zhenshchiny ikh roda? Pogovarivai͡ut, chto Ouėnsy praktikui͡ut li͡ubovnui͡u magii͡u, a v ikh kholodilʹnike mozhno naĭti privorotnoe zelʹe, ingredienty kotorogo oni vyrashchivai͡ut v svoem sadu.

Osobenno kogda kto-to iz nikh vli͡ubli͡aetsi͡a."--, Russian CIP"For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in the 1600s, when Maria Owens was accused of witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood-red hair; shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people's thoughts; and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk. From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But her children will never adhere to rules, and all three are desperate to uncover who they really are. When they visit their aunt Isabelle in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they begin to understand the truth of who they are. The siblings discover there are family secrets to uncover, as well as secrets they have kept hidden from each other. WHen they move to 44 Greenwich Avenue in New York City, each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse"--, From English language publisher
