Amazon Editorial Review

“Alice Hoffman is my favorite writer.” –Jodi Picoult

Alice Hoffman is one of our most beloved writers. Here on Earth was an Oprah Book Club selection. Practical Magic and Aquamarine were both bestselling books and Hollywood movies. Her novels have received mention as notable books of the year by the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, and People magazine, and her short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in the New York Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, Kenyon Review, Redbook, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, and Self.

Now, in The Third Angel, Hoffman weaves a magical and stunningly original story that charts the lives of three women in love with the wrong men: Headstrong Madeleine Heller finds herself hopelessly attracted to her sister’s fiancé. Frieda Lewis, a doctor’s daughter and a runaway, becomes the muse of an ill-fated rock star. And beautiful Bryn Evans is set to marry an Englishman while secretly obsessed with her ex-husband. At the heart of the novel is Lucy Green, who blames herself for a tragic accident she witnessed at the age of twelve, and who spends four decades searching for the Third Angel–the angel on earth who will renew her faith.

Brilliantly evoking London’s King’s Road, Knightsbridge, and Kensington while moving effortlessly back in time, The Third Angel is a work of startling beauty about the unique, alchemical nature of love.

Thank you so much for this wish list book, Hoffman is really one of my favorite writers!! The label will be placed in the front cover of the book :)

Sorry for having kept this so long in my TBR pile! This was like three books within one book. I liked the two first parts best, then lost my concentration towards the end. Hoffman writes fluently and beautifully as always! Some of her books have more magical elements than this one, this was quite a realistic story about women with love problems :)
Loved to read about London, I really have to google if there's Lion Park Hotel in Knightsbridge in real life...

London and unconventional love, irresistible :)! I took this home from our local meet-up, many thanks!

An atmospheric reading experience after just visiting London for the third time! London is a city full of new finds, secret corners and old and new culture living side by side. I think I found many similar elements in this story by Hoffman. The pace and the structure of this book were not the most engaging for me, but I enjoyed each of the ladies growing more confident and also independent as the story evolved.

This book was already offered in our local meet-up but did not find new readers there. I will release this then to a place with audience presumably having fluent English skills.
