Title: The Third Angel
Author: Alice Hoffman
Thoughts: I started reading Hoffman's books after her last novel Skylight Confessions was published. I've read all her books out of order, and just now looked up the chronology. I realize my favorites have been her later novels... she's just been getting better and better. I loved The Third Angel. It was beautiful and haunting, and I feel like I missed so much in my first read-through (you'll understand if you read it) that I want to go back and read it again. Possibly right away.
A lot of what I loved about this book I've mentioned before in relation to Hoffman's writing. She looks at things in such an interesting way. Her stories often read like fairy tales... but ones where no happy ending is guaranteed. Her imagery and use of dreams and symbols is beautiful.
The characters in The Third Angel were so fully realized I couldn't stop thinking about them. I kept imagining all the moments of their lives we didn't get to see. Just wonderful. I can't wait to reread.
