Product Description
“Alice Hoffman is my favorite writer.”
–Jodi Picoult
Alice Hoffman is one of our most beloved writers. Here on Earth was an Oprah Book Club selection. Practical Magic and Aquamarine were both bestselling books and Hollywood movies. Her novels have received mention as notable books of the year by the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, and People magazine, and her short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in the New York Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, Kenyon Review, Redbook, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, and Self.
Now, in The Third Angel, Hoffman weaves a magical and stunningly original story that charts the lives of three women in love with the wrong men: Headstrong Madeleine Heller finds herself hopelessly attracted to her sister’s fiancé. Frieda Lewis, a doctor’s daughter and a runaway, becomes the muse of an ill-fated rock star. And beautiful Bryn Evans is set to marry an Englishman while secretly obsessed with her ex-husband. At the heart of the novel is Lucy Green, who blames herself for a tragic accident she witnessed at the age of twelve, and who spends four decades searching for the Third Angel–the angel on earth who will renew her faith.
Brilliantly evoking London’s King’s Road, Knightsbridge, and Kensington while moving effortlessly back in time, The Third Angel is a work of startling beauty about the unique, alchemical nature of love.

• Couldn't Put It Down! 12 August, 2008
This book was so great! I felt like I was actually inside the book, living right along next to the characters, it was that profound. I loved the going back in time, you really get the answers to all the questions you've been wondering about. Hoffman is truly a unique writer and her books are magical and lyrical. I think I'll sit down tonight and read all her other books that I haven't read yet!

• Another Good Read From Alice Hoffman 30 August, 2008
I can always depend on Alice Hoffman to provide good read and something totally unexpected. This novel is really three separate stories occuring decades apart but interwoven in characters and place. In fact, if you put the stories together it is the end, the middle and the beginning. Enjoy a truly "novel" read.

• A Great Summer Beach Read! 13 August, 2008
I think I've read everything Alice Hoffman has ever written. In The Third Angel, Ms. Hoffman takes you places you wish you were or want to be. There's always a touch of the mystical. Something magical. She didn't let me down with Third Angel. I couldn't put it down. With a child at home, it's hard to find time to read. I found time for this book. I cried. And wished it hadn't ended. A nice summer read. Enjoy!
