Title: One of the worst Alice Hoffman novels
Product review: I'm an Alice Hoffman fan, having read her short stories and some of her more recent novels. Seventh Heaven was a disappointment. At the start, the theme of estrangement among the women in the transition from the 1950's to the 1960's seemed promising. But the characters were shallow and were never fully developed. The prose seemed distant and not particularly insightful about any of the characters' interior lives. Her novel the Ice Queen had an emotional intensity/depth and beautiful metaphorical imagery that was completely lacking in Seventh Heaven. I would recommend other books by Alice Hoffman but I wouldn't recommend this one.
