Title: Not her best
Product review: I love Alice Hoffman but this isn't her best work. Her writing style is as crisp as ever, and the plot has light touches of the magical realism she used more in later books. But I didn't connect particularly with most of the main characters. The elderly woman who is a catalyst for several of the key events in the story, and the "giant" introduced quite late in the book, are far more interesting and clearly-drawn than the couple whose marriage is supposedly the central plot.
