Review title: familiar
Product review: Hoffman writes so well, so wonderfully, you can't help but read page after page, being swept along by her marvelous craft, by her magical realism. In that sense I wasn't disappointed in this slim novel that actually reads as a collection of short stories revolving around the central characters.But much of this is ground that Hoffman has covered elsewhere. I've already read about the amazing flowers in Practical Magic. I've read about the dangerously seductive boyfriends. And I had trouble with the age of the main character. It seemed awfully fluid from chapter to chapter.Despite all that, this is still a good Hoffman read. It might not have moved me as much as her previous books nor necessarily covered new territory but it was entertaining and highly readable all the same.
