Exquisite, I really love Alice Hoffman's writing, all that magic, beauty and love she puts into it makes it something to savor. We have to deal with a significant amount of pain in this one as well as a little girl burdened with the guilt of believing that she has caused her mother's death begins the process of learning to feel again through the cataclysmic event of getting hit by lightening when she is an adult. Weather often plays a large part of Alice Hoffman's stories, it really is a magic phenomenon, and this story is no exception. I have lived in Florida and Alice describes Florida's weather so well. As she says, "no outsider could be prepared for Florida." Getting hit by lightening, ah what a terrible thing! And it is so random, in a world where we persist in thinking that if we do things right then the bad things won't happen to us. Sometimes what we think is bad though turns out for the good, and our control is illusory anyway.
