Hi all,
Well, it took me long enough, but I finally got The Story Sisters, By Alice
Hoffman submitted. Here's the long synopsis in case anyone's interested.
Best,
Donna
Long Synopsis:
From the New York Times Bestselling Author of The Third Angel Alice
Hoffman's previous novel,The Third Angel, was hailed as "an unforgettable
portrait of the depth of true love" (USA Today), "stunning" (Jodi Picoult), and
"spellbinding" (Miami Herald). Her new novel,The Story Sisters, charts the
lives of three sisters - Elv, Claire, and Meg. Each has a fate she must meet
alone: one on a country road, one in the streets of Paris, and one in the
corridors of her own imagination. Inhabiting their world are a charismatic man
who cannot tell the truth, a neighbor who is not who he appears to be, a clumsy
boy in Paris who falls in love and stays there, a detective who finds his
heart's desire, and a demon who will not let go. What does a mother do when one
of her children goes astray? How does she save one daughter without sacrificing
the others? How deep can love go, and how far can it take you? These are the
questions this luminous novel asks. At once a coming-of-age tale, a family
saga, and a love story of erotic longing,The Story Sisters sifts through the
miraculous and the mundane as the girls become women and their choices haunt
them, change them and, finally, redeem them. It confirms Alice Hoffman's
reputation as "a writer whose keen ear for the measure struck by the beat of
the human heart is unparalleled" (The Chicago Tribune).
