This was accepted as an alternative book by leeny37 on the ""Down Under/Anything Goes Relay".
Will be crossing the continent along with some friends soon.

Alice Hoffman is an author whom I heard about when I joined Bookcrossing but I have never had a chance to read her books. This will give me a taste of her writing - I have been told she's good, I hope I won't be disappointed!

From Amazon.com:
As this novel opens, March Murray Cooper returns to her hometown, ostensibly to bury the woman who raised her but needing to resolve the unfinished business of her youthful love for Hollis, from whom she has been separated for years. Hollis has now grown into a man embittered by loneliness. He has learned neither to forgive nor to forget, and March must discover whether he can ever learn to love. Hoffman takes great care here to examine the many facets of love and relationships, turning them like a prism to reflect on March and Hollis. Hoffman's evocative language and her lyrical descriptions of place contrast sharply with the emotional scars that her characters must uncover and bear. Her novel is a haunting tale of a woman lost in and to love; it will enthrall the reader from beginning to end.

RELEASE NOTES:

Released through BookMooch.com and sent to nikkilovesbooks on behalf of sunnybrook301 as a Smile Day RABCK!

Thank you very much for the book. I love Hoffman, always enjoy her books and have not read this one. Everyone seems to be passing it on, but I'll give it a go & read it when I get around to it. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

I recently finished reading this book. I was a little disappointed. I feel that it was 'soapy' compared to other Hoffman books I have read. I did keep my interest all of the way through, but it was predictable and a pretty light read. It is on its way to LadyIndigo as a RABCK. I hope you enjoy it more than I did. Please let me know what you think.

received (well collected from the post office box) today from the lovely nikkilovesbooks

thanks so much for forwarding it to *my* mount tbr....
thanks also for the postcard and the map of where you are
;-)

i am yet to read this ... however have obtained a second copy (through one of those ebay bulk book lots ).. so will keep this copy moving by sending it onto sujie to help with her auther a-z challenge for this year

i am sure to read this (well the other copy) sooner or later - my face-to-face groups have kept me busy

happy reading
;-)

Hmmm...damned by faint praise, and the first few pages seem to give credence to nikkilovesbooks' feeling that this is a bit of a soapy. But it does supply an 'H' author for my A-Z challenge this year, so I'll grin and bear it. Thanks for thinking of me, LadyIndigo.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

In bookshelf at end of counter.

I am looking forward to reading this book as I enjoyed Practical Magic
