Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Achingly beautiful and filled with heart-wrenchingly real characters: one of Hoffman's best."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Among the many pleasures of Skylight Confessions is a sense of continuous corner-turning, a chain of surprises. . . . Skylight Confessions is about the unresolvable contradictions that lie at the heart of life."--Ann Harleman, Boston Globe

"Wholly original and haunting."--Parade

"Alice Hoffman remains a literary sorceress par excellence. . . . In a novel that unfolds like a dream, Hoffman reminds readers that love and family create the most potent magic of all."--Martha Woodall, Philadelphia Inquirer

"Alice Hoffman has written her most spellbinding, accomplished novel yet. . . . Although this is Hoffman's nineteenth book, it feels utterly fresh. Her voice -- touched by the cadences of fairy tales -- buoys us through the novel's saddest currents."--Andrea Chapin, More

"Hoffman's shimmering, multigenerational melodrama bewitches with supernatural imagery while imaginatively dramatizing all-too-common heartaches."--Donna Seaman, Booklist

"Hoffman's brand of magical realism squeezes caring out of hard-to-reach places and ends up being a celebration of love."--Good Housekeeping

"Hoffman is one of our great storytellers and one who knows the American family in all its many facets. In Skylight Confessions, she has once again written a story and characters that are truly unforgettable. A novel to be savored."--Victoria A. Brownworth, Baltimore Sun

"Haunting. . . . This isn't just Hoffman's best recent novel; it's one of the best of a distinguished list. . . . Long after the last page is turned, the characters and their stories are impossible to forget."--Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Reseña del editor:

The marriage of Arlyn Singer and John Moody, opposites who are drawn to each other despite a mutual lack of understanding, has a profound and lasting impact on them, their children, and their grandchildren, in a poignant novel of three generations of a family haunted and shaped by love. Reader's Guide included. Reprint.
