Alice Hoffman opens "Turtle Moon" with her signature whimsical touch, immediately immersing readers in a magical atmosphere. She writes, "The air all around the town limits is so thick that sometimes a soul cannot rise and instead attaches itself to a stranger, landing right between the shoulder blades with a thud that carries no more weight than a hummingbird. Frederick Busch noted in his 1992 New York Times review, "Ms. Hoffman believes in a magical world, and she insists upon her readers experiencing it.""
Hoffman is best known for her 1995 novel "Practical Magic." Her newest title "When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary" was released in 2024.
