Skylight Confessions: A Novel: Booktrack Edition

Reviews

"Hoffman is one of our great storytellers and one who knows the American family in all its many facets. In Skylight Confessions, she has once again written a story and characters that are truly unforgettable. A novel to be savored."—Victoria A. Brownworth, Baltimore Sun "Alice Hoffman remains a literary sorceress par excellence. . . . In a novel that unfolds like a dream, Hoffman reminds readers that love and family create the most potent magic of all."—Martha Woodall, Philadelphia Inquirer "Hoffman's brand of magical realism squeezes caring out of hard-to-reach places and ends up being a celebration of love."—Good Housekeeping "Haunting. . . . This isn't just Hoffman's best recent novel; it's one of the best of a distinguished list. . . . Long after the last page is turned, the characters and their stories are impossible to forget."—Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Wholly original and haunting."—Parade "Hoffman's shimmering, multigenerational melodrama bewitches with supernatural imagery while imaginatively dramatizing all-too-common heartaches."—Donna Seaman, Booklist "Among the many pleasures of Skylight Confessions is a sense of continuous corner-turning, a chain of surprises. . . . Skylight Confessions is about the unresolvable contradictions that lie at the heart of life."—Ann Harleman, Boston Globe "Alice Hoffman has written her most spellbinding, accomplished novel yet. . . . Although this is Hoffman's nineteenth book, it feels utterly fresh. Her voice -- touched by the cadences of fairy tales -- buoys us through the novel's saddest currents."—Andrea Chapin, More "Achingly beautiful and filled with heart-wrenchingly real characters: one of Hoffman's best."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Expand reviews
