Book Reviews of Skylight Confessions
Book Review: Not Hoffman's best
Summary: 2 Stars
The book started off pretty good, but about halfway, I felt like it repeated itself. I am a Hoffman fan, but this book truly was not one I would recommend. The characters were unbelievable. I disliked Sam and his sister, although I know that was not the intent of the author. I found myself skimming the last 4 or 5 chapters just to finish it.
The ending was pretty bad too.
Summary of Skylight Confessions
Writing at the height of her powers, Alice Hoffman conjures three generations of a family haunted by love. Cool, practical, and deliberate, John is dreamy Arlyn's polar opposite. Yet the two are drawn powerfully together even when it is clear they are bound to bring each other grief. Their difficult marriage leads them and their children to a house made of glass in the Connecticut countryside, to the avenues of Manhattan
