Turtle Moon - Alice Hoffman

This was my second Alice Hoffman novel and I was impressed again by her storytelling, honesty, and her way of thinking.

My main complaint is that I could not (often) remember the characters and I kept mixing them up, and I found that there were some loose ends when I had finished the novel. This didn't really matter all that much - the insight is what matters most with Alice Hoffman.

Really paints a colourful picture of this little Florida town in the month of May, when things go haywire and everything is weird, and you can sense the static in the air. A baby goes missing, unsuited people fall in love, and the characters lives are intertwined.

Alice Hoffman's books are not exactly page turners, and they don't really flow, and they are not memorable, but if you appreciate them for what they are - bits of practical mysticism (yes, these go together with her) - you won't be disappointed.
