Alice Hoffman - Here on Earth
 
   

Product Description

 
A professor's wife named March Murray travels from California to her hometown in Massachusetts to attend the funeral of the woman who helped raise her after her mother died. While there, she becomes passionately involved with her old flame, Hollis, an abandoned child her family took in as a boarder. Now wealthy, Hollis has waited all these years for March to return to him, but she soon discovers that he is no longer the person she once knew, but an evil, heartless man. This "Wuthering Heights" update is set in modern-day New England.

This Is Love? No Thanks, I Think I'll Pass....

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you would like a book that will sicken and get under your skin, go buy it. If not, stay home and enjoy yourself. You won't enjoy this book.
Review: I just finished Alice Hoffman?s novel, Here on Earth for a second time. I bet you are wondering why I read it a second time with my rating of 1-star, right? Well, to be truthful, I didn?t remember the book so well after not having read it for two...

Wuthering Hoffman

Date of Review:  May 1, 2000
Review: First off, this book did grab me from the first chapter and keep me going for a long time. The whole obsessive love affair thing is appealing to the dark, seething romantic in all of us. Surrendering control to this brooding, wounded creature...
