Share This
Description
Four lyrical novels, including the New York Times-bestselling Seventh Heaven, from one of our "most interesting novelists" (Jane Smiley, New York Times).
As Newsweek said of her novel Practical Magic, Alice Hoffman has a "gift for touching ordinary life as if with a wand, to reveal how extraordinary life really is." Whether in an ancient tribe of female warriors or a sleepy Long Island suburb in the late 1950s, the novels in this collection carve out a piece of that uniquely Hoffmanesque landscape -- somewhere between magic and reality, the mythical and the mundane.
The Foretelling: The "spare, compelling coming-of-age story" of Rain, born out of sorrow but destined to lead her tribe of Amazon warriors (Kirkus Reviews).
White Horses: A "haunting" story about the powerful impact the fairy-tale fantasies of girlhood have on a young woman as she struggles with growing up and accepting the truth about her family (The New Yorker).
Angel Landing: An explosion at a nuclear power plant changes the lives of Natalie, a therapist; her activist boyfriend, Carter; her eccentric aunt Minnie; and the man who walks into her office with an incredible confession to make in a novel that is Alice Hoffman at her "heartbreaking best" (The Washington Post).
Seventh Heaven: The arrival of a divorced mother and her two young sons transforms a Long Island suburb during the summer of 1959, in a novel that's "part American Graffiti, part early Updike" (The New York Times).
