Product Description
“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 fiance. 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.
From the Hardcover edition.

 Very Enjoyable Reading! August 17, 2008
The storyline was complex and well written. The characters stories perfectly dovetailed with each others. Thank you Alice Hoffman!
A great summer beach read! August 13, 2008
I think I've read everything Alice Hoffman has ever written. In The Third Angel, Ms. Hoffman takes you places you wish you were or want to be. There's always a touch of the mystical. Something magical. She didn't let me down with Third Angel. I couldn't put it down. With a child at home, it's hard to find time to read. I found time for this book. I cried. And wished it hadn't ended. A nice summer read. Enjoy!
Lyrical and Wonderful August 13, 2008
As always, Alice Hoffman once again shows her self to be a sensitive and interesting writer. She allows us to appreciate the spiritual side of life and love. Excellent book!
Couldn't put it down! August 12, 2008
This book was so great! I felt like I was actually inside the book, living right along next to the characters, it was that profound. I loved the going back in time, you really get the answers to all the questions you've been wondering about. Hoffman is truly a unique writer and her books are magical and lyrical. I think I'll sit down tonight and read all her other books that I haven't read yet!
CAPTIVATING August 10, 2008
I was so happy to come across this new book of Alice Hoffman's at my local library. I have read all her books and wasn't aware she had a new one out. This may be the best one yet!!
It is the story of love and loss. Tragedy, choices and consequences. It begins in 1999, the next story is 1966 and then finally 1952. All the women in this story somehow interweave into each others lives from future back to the past.
I can only say you will begin to read and immerse yourself in the world of Alice Hoffman and her wonderful writing style and won't put this book down until you have read the last word. She can write about the dark, troubling nuances of a person with such conviction and we see a lot of redemption and faith come trough as well.
I loved this book and am thankful for this author.
