I have read only one of Hoffman's novels -- before her magic realism days -- there was a novel of hers about AIDS called At Risk in 1988. Oh it was good back then! Hoffman has some storytelling talent. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-69285959385827963862016-05-25T15:25:24.558-07:002016-05-25T15:25:24.558-07:00Yes, it turned out to be that.Yes, it turned out to be that.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-73108961334573556942016-05-25T14:26:55.406-07:002016-05-25T14:26:55.406-07:00Fascinating book :-)Fascinating book :-)The Reader's Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701126931175725145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-88360726517677884562016-05-21T12:22:08.705-07:002016-05-21T12:22:08.705-07:00Dorothy, you have summed up the conversation here ...Dorothy, you have summed up the conversation here so well.

But I do think that books that are saddled with the genre of chick lit are often overlooked and disparaged unfairly. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of Alice Hoffman's style of writing, although I did enjoy <i>The DoveKeepers</i>. This sounds like one I might enjoy as well.
