Four acclaimed novels by "a born storyteller," the New York Times-bestselling author of The Rules of Magic and The Dovekeepers (Entertainment Weekly). One of today's most beloved authors of lyrical fiction with a touch of magic, Alice Hoffman boasts a body of work that has been praised by readers and critics from the very beginning. This collection includes her first novel, plus three more of her outstanding tales.   Property Of: Hoffman's debut about teenage girls in mascara and leather and their attraction to local toughs is "a remarkably envisioned novel, almost mythic in its cadences" (The New York Times).   The Drowning Season intertwines the stories of two women named Esther: a granddaughter, who yearns to escape the Long Island shore and the coldness of the family matriarch; and her grandmother, who fled her abusive parents in Russia decades before. This novel "casts the spell of all great fairy tales. It takes daily life and transforms it into myth as we watch" (Chicago Sun-Times).   Fortune's Daughter: A New York Times Notable Book, this luminous novel of a restless young traveler and a fortune-teller with a secret is a tribute to the profound mysteries of motherhood and childbirth from a writer who, in the words of Amy Tan, "takes seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary things."   At Risk is a New York Times bestseller that "will leave few dry eyes" (Library Journal). In 1980s America, a family copes with their daughter's terrifying AIDS diagnosis.… (altro)

A special thank you to NetGalley and Open Road Integrated Media for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Those of you that actually read this blog, my online reviews, or follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Pintrest would know that Alice Hoffman is my favourite author, so to be asked to review this collection was an absolute pleasure.

This eBook features four of Hoffman's early works: her first two novels (Property Of and The Drowning Season) as well as two from almost a decade later (Fortune's Daughter, and At Risk). It is a wonderful compilation of her stunning writing.

I would give this collection a 5/5. It is a must-read for any fan, and would be a brilliant introduction to Alice Hoffman for those who haven't yet lost themselves in the pages of one of her literary masterpieces.

Review of each book is on the blog. www.girlwellread.blogspot.com. ( )
