![]() ![]() Alice Hoffman's writing is such extraordinary prose, that I always read the book at night as I listen to it in the day. It made me reckon with the fact that there are those you cannot love into happiness, more likely they'll pull you down into the place they, on some level, fear to ever leave. ![]() It also contributed to finally leaving my husband, who was not as abusive as Hollis, but with a similar history which had permanently damaged him beyond repair. So powerful was it, that lost I became within its pages, with three young kids and a husband who all puzzled where the heck I'd gone. ![]() I read this book in 1997 when it first came out. Here on Earth, loosely based on Wuthering Heights, scoops you up and doesn't let you gently down until the very last page. The only problem with an Alice Hoffman book is what to do when it's over, so engrossing is the ambiance she creates. ![]()
