" The aunts are so old it's impossible to tell their age. Their hair is white and their spines are crooked. They wear long black skirts and laced leather boots. Though they haven't left Massachusetts in more than forty years, they're certainly not intimidated by travel. Or anything else, for that matter. They know what they want and they're not afraid to be outspoken. "
― Alice Hoffman , Practical Magic (Practical Magic, #1)
