Alice Hoffman
Acerca de esta escucha
The latest New York Times best seller from beloved author Alice Hoffman celebrates the enduring magic of books and is a “wonderful story of love and growth” (Stephen King).
One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her. The Scarlet Letter was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Mia’s mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Community—an oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her?
Through a journey of heartbreak, love, and time, Mia must abandon the rules she was raised with at the Community. As she does, she realizes that reading can transport you to other worlds or bring them to you, and that readers and writers affect one another in mysterious ways. She learns that time is more fluid than she can imagine, and that love is stronger than any chains that bind you.
As a girl Mia fell in love with a book. Now as a young woman she falls in love with a brilliant writer as she makes her way back in time. But what if Nathaniel Hawthorne never wrote The Scarlet Letter? And what if Mia Jacob never found it on the day she planned to die?
From “the reigning queen of magical realism” (Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author), this is the story of one woman’s dream. For a little while it came true.

Opal is a lot of things—orphan, high school dropout, full-time cynic and part-time cashier—but above all, she's a determined to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets them out of Eden, Kentucky, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luck and E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underland, who disappeared over a hundred years ago. All she left behind were dark rumors—and her home. Everyone agrees that it’s best to ignore the uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir, Arthur. Almost everyone, anyway.

But Blue has other ideas, and, unwilling to play at her father's bewildering games, she sets out on her own path to find her own destiny....

In The First Man, Albert Camus tells the story of Jacques Cormery, a boy who lived a life much like his own. Camus summons up the sights, sounds, and textures of a childhood circumscribed by poverty and a father's death yet redeemed by the austere beauty of Algeria and the boy's attachment to his nearly deaf-mute mother. The result is a moving journey through the lost landscape of youth that also discloses the wellsprings of Camus's aesthetic powers and moral vision.

Isabel Gibson has all but perfected the art of forgetting. She’s a New Yorker now, with nothing left to tie her to Brinkley’s Island, Maine. Her parents are gone, the family bookstore is all but bankrupt, and her sister, Sophie, will probably never speak to her again. But when a mysterious letter arrives in her mailbox, Isabel feels herself drawn to the past. After years of fighting for her independence, she dreads the thought of going back to the island.

enjoyable
Alice Hoffman weaves different times together with a touch of magic. She is the queen of magic in such real way! I just found myself wanting a bit more from the characters stories, but I did really enjoy it and it was a great read. Good twists and turns along the way. <3

Had me in the first half
I really enjoyed the story line for part 1 of the book. Part 2 not so much.

First half was perfect
The first half was a great read hooked me right in. Parts 2 was a major disappointment. At one point I thought it would shift back to match part one, it did not.
I am torn on whether I should recommend this to others.

Great beginning
The beginning was a great story of mothers and daughters and found family. The second part was awkward and odd.

The past is prolog
Good character development based on a known literary figure and people dealing with today's events and attitudes. Ending indicates potential not cut and dried

Disconnected
Part 2 & 3 did not mesh well for me. It felt implausible & not set up well. Loved the first part of the book. Loved the audible narrator.

Excellent book - glad I gave it a chance!
Initially I was reluctant to continue listening after the first several minutes, but I’m very glad to have stayed with it!

The cult aspect
Loved part one despised part 2. If the whole back in time part wasn’t in the book I would have liked it better. Made the book a bit lame

Best book I've had the privilege to read in years
I'm speechless by the depth of the characters, the details of the plot and the magic. It was truly a gift to read this book.
