Her weaving of three love stories in different times with overlapping characters is a work of art, often leaving me with chills. This book reflects a middle aged wisdom; knowledge that can only be written after emotional payment.
The worth of this book is in the story telling. Most of the telling is set in London (1999, 1966 and 1952), which makes these tales quite colorful. It was fun to read, though was a heart breaker at times. This would make a good discussion book due to the quality, quantity (289 pages) and rich discussion points. According to the story, there are three angels, the angel of death, the angel of life, and the angel that we can help. I would like to know, was Millie the rabbit the third angel in the third story? I think so, but then, who was the third angel in the first and second stories?
Lastly, I would like to say that my two favorite Alice Hoffman books are Practical Magic
Thanks for sharing! Been looking for some great books to read while I'm at an all day spa treat for my b-day. Will get all three books.
