Turtle Moon

$7.99$1.99Audiobook: 7.49 (Whispersync)
Author:

Kirkus calls this a "mix of murder and magic in the Florida sunshine as only Hoffman could conjure it. Verity, Florida, once known for live alligators, is now better known as having more divorced women from New York than any other town in the state of Florida. Lucy Rosen is one of those women. She has recently moved to Verity, and what she doesn't know yet is that in May, when the turtles come out and crawl across the roads, anything can happen. This particular May, a woman in Lucy's condo complex is murdered, her baby is missing, and Lucy's own son, Keith, has vanished as well. With the assistance of Julian Cash, a reclusive Verity policeman, Lucy sets out to find out who committed the murder and what has become of the missing children. Pure Hoffman: her take on the tropics is haunting, hypnotic, and hot as a fever dream."

When she finds him, he is her perfect opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water and whose touch scorches.

The Rules of Magic

The Rules of Magic

Author:

The prequel to bestseller Practical Magic from author Alice Hoffman, and a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick. From School Library Journal: "The gray-eyed Owens children have always been strange. Frances, the oldest, can communicate with birds; shy and beautiful middle sibling Bridget (nicknamed Jet for her black hair) can read minds; and the youngest, Vincent, is so winsome and irresistible that his obstetric nurse attempted to kidnap him. Growing up in New York City during the 1950s and 1960s, the children never fit in, until they visit Aunt Isabelle in Massachusetts and discover they are bloodline witches. The clever Owenses handle major crises such as the Vietnam War, first loves, and the death of family members, all while learning how to cope with their special abilities in a world that doesn't always value those who are different. Readers need not have read the earlier book—but they'll eagerly seek out the author's other work."

The Invisible Hour

The Invisible Hour

Author:

“A book doesn’t live when it’s written. It lives when it’s read.” In Hoffman’s inventive new novel, a young woman’s life is changed by The Scarlet Letter. Mia is trapped in the strict religious sect known as the Community, and finds escape in the pages of a 200-year-old novel that bears surprising similarities to her own life. But, thanks to the book, she soon literally escapes to another world: she time travels to Hawthorne’s day, where the author is keen to learn all about Mia and her life. Ambitious and deeply felt, this is a magical tale of books and reading, the nature of love, and the price some women pay for breaking powerful men’s rules. For fans of Hoffman’s Magic Lessons and Alix E. Harrow’s The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

The Red Garden

The Red Garden

$9.99$2.99Audiobook: 7.99 (Whispersync)
Author:

From Publishers Weekly: "Hoffman brings us 200 years in the history of Blackwell, a small town in rural Massachusetts, in her insightful latest. The story opens with the arrival of the first settlers, among them a pragmatic English woman, Hallie, and her profligate, braggart husband, William. Hallie makes an immediate and intense connection to the wilderness, and the tragic severing of that connection results in the creation of the red garden, a small, sorrowful plot of land that takes on an air of the sacred. The prose is beautiful, the characters drawn sparsely but with great compassion." Add Audible narration for $7.99.

From the publisher: "Women of the Sparrow family have unusual gifts. Elinor can detect falsehood. Her daughter, Jenny, can see people's dreams when they sleep.

By turns chilling and enchanting, The Probable Future chronicles the Sparrows's legacy as young Stella struggles to cope with her disturbing clairvoyance. Her potential to ruin or redeem becomes unbearable when one of her premonitions puts her father in jail, wrongly accused of homicide."
